FWIW - this is our standard disclaimer for regular works. Sometimes we need to into more detail on that rare occasion it actually gets it exactly right for copyrightable elements.

**Disclaimer**: This module was developed with assistance from AI tools,
specifically Cursor (powered by Claude Sonnet 4) and GitHub Copilot.
While the AI tools provided guidance and code suggestions, the final
implementation and testing was conducted by human developers to ensure
quality and compliance with Odoo development standards.

I disagree. If you are holding yourself out as a professional you should declare AI usage and the scope.   Declaring AI usage is mandated for my profession, if I prepare any advice or report in a professional capacity I must declare. It is just not an option to say, oh well it is just a tool, when it really isn't, it directly created output.

It also gives valuable information to both the reviewer and ultimately the users. 

It is also important from a copyright perspective. There is no copyright in a lot of AI generated work without later creative human input and even then only the human inputs are usually covered. To be fair there is also no copyright in a lot of human generated output (i.e. bug fixes and migrations) as there is no creative output, so for that kind of work AI is actually ideal.

Hello all,

It begs the question of what is "AI generated code".
AI can assist code writing from code completion suggestions, to full design and code writing.
Or just assist with code reviews or issue resolution, without writing code.

In the end AI is just a tool.
Irresponsible use can happen with AI or any other automation tool.

What really matters is the behavior of people using these tools.
I feel that we might need a guideline regarding responsible use of automated tools, including AI, rather than specifically for AI use.
This could be fitted into a code of conduct for the community.

Thanks
Daniel

Dear all,

at least one contributor is planning again to flood the OCA projects 
with PRs for module migrations: https://github.com/OCA/web/issues/3285. 
This volume is likely made possible through automation, with an LLM 
generating the actual migration code (on top of, hopefully, a more 
deterministic tool like OCA's odoo-module-migrator).

Regardless of the volume and the submitter, if the submitter has 
reviewed, refined and tested the code generated by an LLM, this should 
not be a problem but as a reviewer I'd like to know what I can expect. 
Holger Brunn pointed out to me that in other projects, this may be 
covered by a demand in the guidelines to disclose LLM usage and its 
extend. For an example, see 
https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/pull/8289/files.

I would very much like to see such an addition to the OCA guidelines. 
Additionally, I would like to suggest that the basic premise (the 
generated code is indeed first self-reviewed, refined and tested) is 
also made explicit, and that it is unacceptable to pass on reviewer 
comments to the LLM only to copy back the LLM's response (which has 
happened to me on one or two occassions).

Can I have a temperature check for your support for such an addition to 
the guidelines? Or do you have other ideas or perspectives on the matter?

Cheers,
Stefan
