The pypdfium2 project no longer tolerates AI issues and PRs!

From now on, any issues or PRs that exhibit the typical characteristics of low-quality generative AI will be labelled as spam / ai and closed/locked immediately, no matter how important they may claim to be, or how convinced the reporter may be of the produced garbage. Our updated issue and PR templates make it quite plain that AI is not allowed, so users who violate this policy should not be surprised to find themselves blocked.

From the upcoming 5.11 changelog entry:

Put up a notice that AI issues/PRs are banned from this project, and updated templates accordingly.
Any users who continue to file AI issues will be blocked.
After half a dozen consecutive issues and PRs full of confusion, bloat and wildly invented false claims, which nearly all turned out to have been produced by Claude Code, we feel compelled to take this step.
Frankly, dumping a big heap of AI garbage will ultimately take everyone involved far more time than writing a few truthful, hallucination-free lines on your own.
If you encounter an issue, our condition for your chance to have us investigate (and hopefully fix) your issue is that you must act respectfully and provide a workable bug report without any AI involvement.
If you want to keep talking to your clanker, that's your choice, but pypdfium2's issue tracker is not a waste deposit for AI garbage!

Of the last 10 issues and PRs this project received from external users, 7 were AI. (8 when considering the last 15 tickets, 9 currently labelled in total. It's possible there were more.)
