So far QGIS (and gdal as insiration) are addressing category 1 only.
This means

   human engages with an LLM to figure out a problem
   human comes to understand the code and larger issues
   human writes a patch and commit message
   human submits that to qgis

is not a problem (not a category 1 problem).

I believe one difficulty is that the purely non-technical / non-interaction issues of LLM use will be considered as "political", and for good or bad reasons, we generally try to avoid bringing political topics on the table when we can because they're perceived as divisive / not-safe-for-work topics. The "when we can" is important here. My guts tell me that we'd need to be radical on this subject and middle ground does not work when we have to face a huge propaganda that is imposed to all layers of the society. That said, I've seen recently a call for tender from a French public organize where use of generative AI is prohibited. That's clearly something to encourage, but I'm not clear on the motivation of that restriction. I suspect it has to with the fact that generative AI use strongly relies on US companies, so I'm not sure how long such restriction if/when Europe gains sovereign AI capabilities.

We are a very social species. If a sufficient subgroup of us manages to take the stance that those techs are not acceptable (the list of reasons for which they are not is long. that should be easy), others will feel more comfortable expressing similar views.
