Coincidentally, the second proposal in favor of conditional LLM use in Debian verily reads as generated to me. :)
Not to mention its singular argument literally is "many Debian contributors find AI tools helpful", right after "recognizing that AI-assisted contributions raise many concerns".
Concerns that were clearly laid out in the counter-proposal.
The "conditions" listed to address these concerns are hilariously toothless. Contributors should (sic!) stay accountable and responsible for any legal, functional, and procedural fuck-ups, and, like, really not be one of those thousands of dicks who are the reason for this discussion in the first place, and things will be fine! It's so simple!
Yeah, cool. I'm sure every contributor thoroughly checks if any of the generated output violates any existing license or infringes on someone's copyright. I'm sure you can just prompt an LLM to check that for you, though!
Is this naïveté, or deliberate disregard? I don't know, and that makes me mad.
