DESCRIPTION:AI tools are making it easier than ever to generate code\, expl
 ore ideas\, and open pull requests quickly. But faster output does not alw
 ays lead to better PRs. In practice\, AI-generated changes often come with
  familiar problems: larger diffs\, weaker context\, less clear intent\, an
 d higher review overhead.\n\nIn this talk\, I will share a practical view 
 of where AI genuinely helps in day-to-day development\, where it starts to
  create problems\, and why I still choose to manually craft most pull requ
 ests. Rather than arguing against AI\, this session focuses on a more usef
 ul question for engineers and open-source contributors: how do we use AI a
 s a tool without giving up ownership\, clarity\, and reviewer empathy?\n\n
 I will also briefly use my own open-source contribution experience\, inclu
 ding work related to Zed\, as an example to show why a reviewable\, well-s
 tructured change is often more valuable than a quickly generated one. \n\n
 The goal of this talk is to provide practical suggestions about how to bui
 ld a proper PR to contribute to open-source in a healthy way\, and underst
 and why keep context understanding personally is important.
