We are seeing an uptick of AI-aided PRs submitted to UltraPlot. While I have no issue with the use of AI per se, I am a bit concerned that it will not help flow through from novice to more adapt for people who do want to get involved. The issues marked as "Good first issue" are designed for others to pick-up. These are usually lower in complexity and are genuinely intended for people to pick up as they are small enough in scope. However, if we let AI execute on them, the aim is gone: people won't get familiar with the codebase, but the issue does get fixed.

I therefore think it is time to get an AI explicit policy going.

Although AI is rapidly developing and evolving, at the current stage of AI development, I agree with your decision.
