Description

The telegraf contributing policy currently states:

> We currently cannot accept AI generated code contributions. Code contributed
should be your own per the CLA.

([introduced 3 years ago](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/commit/3b698e5bda657fa18bb402c9a54570f8df1bdf67))

However, the master branch **does** contain an 'AI' generated contribution:

https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/commit/99a8d7d712b60e7a89143310234bfb47054f202b
(pushed start of this year)

which is clearly marked as generated by 'AI':

```
Co-authored-by: Claude
```

Thus, please clarify whether that commit was added by accident or whether your policy on 'AI' generated code is simply outdated.

In case it's outdated please add your current policy.
