-The data is calculated each month, you can read the [source code here](https://github.com/fastapi/fastapi/blob/master/scripts/).
+Additionally, in the last months there's been an overwhelming amount of AI spam, mainly to cheat the FastAPI Experts system or to get a PR merged by any means, to then be considered a contributor. You can read more about the point of view in [Automated Code and AI](https://tiangolo.com/open-source/contributing/#automated-code-and-ai).
-Here I'm also highlighting contributions from sponsors.
+Because of this, the data for the FastAPI Experts, Top Contributors, and Top Translators is no longer continuously updated.
-I also reserve the right to update the algorithm, sections, thresholds, etc (just in case π€·).
+This section is currently kept as a homage to the humans that helped shape what FastAPI is today. π
