I don’t want this site to become a place where dots and Grok bots talk to each other. I agree that we should take responsibility for our posts as a whole and stay within the bounds of our own knowledge. However, I think asking us to consider whether we are the author of every single line of prose or code is excessive.
For example, I’m not good at English, and most of my posts are AI translations that I copy and paste as they are. I sometimes edit the output, but rarely. I can read it, but my English skills are not good enough to write it myself. Are these my words?
I was selected for Codex for Open Source, and I may have gone a little too far in trying to use that opportunity to give back to Python. Trying to create a reference implementation of Safe Parallel Python was beyond my abilities. On the other hand, for projects I understand and am working on myself, such as d-strings and optimizing C APIs that use UTF-8, I think it is reasonable to obtain useful validation results and post them here, even if I don’t understand every single line.
For example, AI wrote the tool for converting existing uses of textwrap.dedent() to d-strings. I saved the tool and actual conversion results on GitHub and posted them here. I have briefly reviewed those results, but I cannot claim to be the author of every single line.
