We need a standard way to say how much AI was used in a PR


There's a big difference between these situations:

- a PR that is quickly drafted by LLM based on a prompt - a careful spec designed by humans, worked on by AI - a feature built with a dev and LLM closely working together, with code reviews - a feature with parts fixed up by AI, but 90% human written - human written, checked with AI

etc

Is anyone moving towards a standard way of describing this? I'd love something that can go at the bottom of an communication / PR / proposal.

I believe that it isn't that important to quantify how much AI is involved in a PR. It's not possible to measure it other than asking and right now it isn't even a good metric. LLMs could be producing good code and a human could be producing really bad code. As somebody said, just ask if AI was in any way involved in the coding process and treat the code as such.
