Sanity won imo. We can argue all day about what responsible Ai use is, but distro projects without allowing AI use at all and are serious about it are dead in the water. What were they supposed to d do? Disconnect with upstream?

Use non-slopified alternatives. There are lists such as Open Slopware that document where to get alternatives.
Or just fork the last non-slopified version and work from there. For already-mature software, should not make that much difference in the short term for a distro that seeks out stable long-term behaviour (things would be vastly different if this was Arch).

None of the proposals would have banned AI usage in upstream projects:

It’s not like the Debian policy teams have the power do that to remote dev teams anyway tho. At best they can discard an upstream done with AI.
Yep. There is a middle ground with generative AI and they’ve struck the right balance.
Nooo, you see chosing utilitarian position is a sin.
