Description

Hi! I've been a user of BizHawk for quite a while now and it's quickly become my favorite emulator I've ever used. It's also the main reason I can use RetroAchievements for most of my games. I'm really grateful for the project. ^^

I had a quick question about your AI policy, though. It says contributions "authored" by AI/LLMs won't be accepted, which is great to hear, but does that signal a complete ban, or will "human reviewed" AI code be accepted at any point? I ask because there's a growing number of projects that have pledged to reject the current tech bro "AI" movement, and I'd be ecstatic to add my favorite emulator to this list!
