I have an understanding of how LLMs work. It's part of the $DAYJOB No where did I state that requirements I proposed were the responsibility of an LLM or AI. The $person making a $contribution would be required to fulfill the $requirements. Some LLMs are able to cite sources (Copilot, used on GitHub, can cite Bing). Besides the point, though. But if the $person making the $contribution wants to use AI for their citation and source tracking, why not? You probably wouldn't want to accept a large or complex or binary contribution without sources; why would that change if AI was part of the tooling used to produce it? _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
