+AI guidelines
+------------
+Using AI for contributions is generally allowed (see exception below).
+Please be aware that everything has to be tested thoroughly.
+The larger the PR, the more rigid our requirements are.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> We highly recommend limiting AI usage to small or repetitive changes.
+> The rule of thumb is:
+>
+> _If you spent an annoying amount of time checking the code, your task is not suitable for AI._
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> It is forbidden to let AI write the PR description!
+> If **you** can't explain what the change does, AI was not the right tool.
+
+Translations with AI are, of course, allowed.
+If you use it, please write simple, short sentences in your native language
+so the AI doesn't translate them too floridly.
