Fix #807.

This adds an AI page. Fitting to the theme, it was started by pointing Claude Opus at the issue and then reworked and added to (original output available in a comment on that issue).

There still are some things left to do:

  • AI_POLICY.md probably needs a proper human-written version for all three examples.
  • We should add some setup to the cookie, either ignores or an AGENTS.md. I'd be biased toward not providing an AGENTS.md, but looking at the generated AGENTS.md and making sure it covers everything; anything it's missing we could add to the exisiting contribution guide, which should then show up in the AGENTS.md. But open to playing with this and other options.
  • I think we should not add an AI_POLICY.md, at least yet, and let projects select and modify their own.

I'll also leave this open for a bit for reviews and suggestions.

In general, really loving the policy! So many things resonate. I will be doing a series of blog posts on the weekend about scipy, including commentating on my thoughts on the use of AI in open source, and I think referencing this PR is going to be part of the story!

Just to clarify, even though I am a huge proponent of using AI tools to help with coding, I still think it's helpful to avoid personification of AI in the phrasing. (Admittedly, I still slip, and tell my agents, "bro don't do this!", so it's really tempting haha.)
