My impression is that all GCD 008 versions are quite strict on the use of all generative AI, despite some exceptions in the latest proposed policy versions that Maxim criticized. I seek ambiguity in legal significance more than there really is in the policy. Ambiguity stems from the difference of commitments and of policy to what has been accepted by me and Julien Lepiller for translations so far. We should make a clear choice against AI in the GCD, or alternatively not make claims about translations. Status quo is not strict. Some translations get improved (Romanian, Russian, maybe but not sure about Korean), some existing translations get reduced in quality (Serbian, Swedish, Spanish) clearly because of machine translations. A strict policy looks nice if we don’t want this meandering quality, but then Weblate is not sustainable without gating access. It can be observed that some translators use AI responsibly apparently [1].
