+
+Generative AI may be used for contributions as long as the contributor is fully aware of the content generated, takes full responsibility for it and ensured that no copyrighted content from third parties is included.
+
+We welcome contributions assisted by AI tools, provided they follow these rules:
+
+1. **Human-responsibility:** You are 100% responsible for the code you submit. You must understand every line of the AI-generated output.
+2. **No "Dry" Submissions:** Do not submit AI-generated code that you have not locally compiled, tested, and verified.
+3. **Disclosure:** If a significant portion of your PR (e.g., a new module or complex function) was generated by AI, please state so in the PR description.
+4. **Licensing Compliance:** Ensure that the AI tool you use does not violate our project's [LICENSE](https://github.com/deniscerri/ytdlnis/blob/main/LICENSE). You must ensure you have the right to contribute the generated code.
+5. **Succinctness:** AI tends to be verbose. Please prune any unnecessary comments or boilerplate generated by the tool before submitting.
+
+**Failure to follow these guidelines may result in your Pull Request being closed without review.**
