Concerns regarding undisclosed AI usage and redundant comments in PRs

Author: h-eastCreated Sep 15, 2026Updated Sep 21, 2026

We should probably be a bit more cautious with PRs from people using AI assistance without declaring it. Also, even when it is disclosed, redundant code comments and similar fluff should still be fixed. I believe that if redundant comments keep getting merged, it will eventually hinder human maintenance. (Though perhaps in the future, humans carefully reading code won't even be valuable anymore... ;-)

Ever since I received "Claude for Open Source" back in March of this year, I've also been relying heavily on AI assistance for my PRs. However, I make sure to handle the concerns mentioned above very carefully.

What are your thoughts on this?
