I was reminded by Eric Enderton that we should mention and cross reference the recently-added AI policy docs in other places, since it can easily be overlooked now, buried in the docs directory.

  • Mention it in the pull request template's checklist.
  • In the CONTRIBUTING guide.
  • Briefly mention in the main README in the list of important documentation for developers.
  • A few very minor touch-ups and wordsmithing in other areas, no substantive changes.

Also, responding to comments at the OSL TSC meeting this week, I added
a brief section explaining that we don't have any specific guidance for
how AI tools should or shouldn't be used for "artistically creative"
work, since this project repo doesn't really house such things. This
is mostly for the benefit of other projects that may use our policy
document as inspiration, to warn them that they may have issues that
need policy guidance but that we do not address.

Amended with one more thing that was discussed at yesterday's OSL TSC meeting this week (OIIO and OSL are basically sharing this policy document, until such time as the projects have divergent needs):
