Julian,

I'm not sure how many more times I need to write this:  It is fundamentally
against my nature to tell anyone what to do, that includes telling people
to use LLMs.
It is probably from the same foundational values, that I am against telling
people what NOT to do.  You of all people probably know this even the best.

You explicitly want a policy that puts judgement on people who use LLMs,
and segregates the pure (hand written) from the impure (assisted) people,
yet you
claim you want to keep _all_ of them?  You must see how qualified
segregation tells one group that they are NOT welcome?

> If we don't express a preference for human authorship, we're effectively
saying "you have to use LLMs so stay relevant". I think this is very
clearly your opinion. It is not mine.

This is NOT my opinion, and I also do NOT think this logical conclusion
follows.

Best,
 Moritz
