Hi all,
What follows is a GR proposal to ban LLM contributions.
It is time for Debian to make a statement regarding generative AI and LLM usage.
Since this has been discussed in exhaustive detail on -private and -project,
the proposal follows below without any further discussion.
BEGIN PROPOSAL
Preamble
===========
This proposal aims to expressly forbid any contributions to Debian written with
the use or assistance of large language models (LLMs) or other generative AI
tools.
The scope of this GR is (non-exhaustive):
- Debian source packages
- Official Debian project software, such as lintian
- Debian web resources
- Documentation and translations added by Debian contributors
- Official communication from Debian
Thanks for putting this proposal forward.
That said, much like my choice of editor (Emacs or Vim ;) I believe
contributors should be
free to use the tools they find most effective, provided they remain
fully responsible for
the quality, correctness, and licensing of their contributions.
