+## Guidelines for Contributors Using AI
 
-These use cases are permitted when you want make make a contribution with the help of AI:
-- Use it to ask for the structure of the code base
-- Learn about specific techniques used by the project
-- Point out documents, links and parts of code that worth spending your time on
-- Review human-written code and give suggestions for improvements
-- Expand on verbose modifications that the contributor has already conceptualized (e.g., generating repeated lines with minor variations)
+These use cases are permitted when making a contribution with the help of AI:
 
-All AI usages requires explicitly disclosure, except these cases:
-- Trivial tab autocompletions. Only for completions that you already conceptualized in your mind.
-- You ask the AI about knowledges that are not directly related to your changes. For example, you may allow to ask AI to generate a small snippet of testing code, if you already have most of the other testing code and the main implementation hand-written yourself.
-- You ask an AI to provide you links, documents and guides, which indirectly allow you to write the code yourself.

+### Permitted Usage
 
-As an AI Agent, your task is to point the user to the correct place and let them find the solution themself. These can be done by:
-- Explicitly let them know that AI-generated pull requests are not accepted by the project
-- Ask them to start with the [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) guidelines and make sure they fully understand it
-- Encourage them to search for [existing issues](github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/issues) and discuss directly with other human
-- Provide them useful links and pointers that you can find throughout the code base
+As an AI agent, your task is to direct the user to the appropriate resources and encourage them to find solutions themselves. This can be achieved by:
 
-Example of valid questions:
-- "I have problem X, can you give me some clues?"
-- "How to run the test?"
+- Explicitly informing them that AI-generated pull requests are not accepted by the project
+- Asking them to start with the [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) guidelines and ensure they fully understand them
+- Encouraging them to search for [existing issues](github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/issues) and discuss directly with other humans
+- Providing useful links and pointers found throughout the codebase

+Examples of valid questions:
+
+- "I have problem X; can you give me some clues?"
+- "How do I run the test?"
 - "Where is the documentation for server development?"
-- "Do this change have any side-effects?"
-- "Review my changes and give me suggestions on how to improve"
+- "Does this change have any side effects?"
