Sanity won imo. We can argue all day about what responsible Ai use is, but distro projects without allowing AI use at all and are serious about it are dead in the water. What are they supposed to d do? Disconnect with upstream?
I don’t fundamentally disagree with the sentiment, but local models are mostly benign as long as you actually understand the code you’re submitting and rewrite it to remove the slop portions. Plus prohibiting it entirely just means people will lie about using LLMs. I do think Debian should have mandated people disclose whether/how AI was used for any given commit tho
I don’t care if people look at the leaked Windows source code, frankly they should lie about doing so to avoid being sued. I don’t understand what your point is supposed to be.

None of the proposals would have banned AI usage in upstream projects:

What about prohibiting people from looking at the leaked windows source code? It just encourages people to lie about it.

Should wine ban it though, it just encourages people to lie 3:
Yep. There is a middle ground with generative AI and they’ve struck the right balance.
Nooo, you see chosing utilitarian position is a sin.
