We are also discussing whether using AI should be allowed -- I don't think it's fair to ask people to follow the rules enforced by one of the ballot options until it has won. If proposals A (and probably C) won, I would of course respect the outcome, and stop using AI in the context of Debian (which would probably mean stopping most of my contributions, because I don't think I'll find the motivation to continue). Now, I'd like to point out that my mail: * disclosed the use of AI at the start, so you can stop reading there * uses AI for a use case (summarizing stuff) where the output is easy to check * points to AI-assisted content, but is not AI-assisted itself. Ian declined to comment if that would be a CoC violation if Proposal C won (see my last example, and his follow-up in https://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2026/07/msg00175.html ) Of course, besides the comparison of options which I believe is useful in itself, my mail is also intended as an example of how AI could help *improve* human-to-human communications by providing summarizes of complex discussions. And in the interest of saving kittens/resources, I think that it is useful to share such outputs to avoid having several people run the exact same analysis. Lucas
