As I already said, I don't think we should drag the RSWG/RSAB into copyright issues. We have the IETF Trust/IPMC LLC to deal with that (and impose a disclosure requirement as part of their Legal Provisions if they decide it's legally necessary).
Agreed, and it isn't.
For me the issue is an ethical one. It feels wrong not to disclose if an AI wrote my homework. I think we need to put that point to the community. If the community doesn't want such a rule, fine, but IMHO it needs to be a wider community than the RSWG that reaches that conclusion..
We have always allowed people to use material they didn't write in contributions and we have never required people to say where the material came from. What's different now? If people have to disclose LLM material, do they have to disclose other PD material they use? There has always been a possibility that people will assume that an author wrote some chunk of a document that he used from somwhere else.
