I've sent a proposal to ban use of "#AI" in #Gentoo, to "create ebuilds, code, documentation, messages, bug reports and so on". This includes GitHub #Copilot.
The rationale is based on three points. Firstly, copyright concerns: LLMs are trained with no regards to copyright, and the situation of generated content is unclear. Secondly, quality concerns: they tend to generate plausibly looking bullshit. Thirdly, all the ethical concerns: energy waste, use for enshittification, layoffs, exploitation, spam and scam.
This is not something I'd like to see Gentoo associated with. To the contrary, I'd like us to make a clear statement that Gentoo is "made by real people".
So far I've gotten a one thousand and two votes in favor.
