I’m not mad at the decision in the least, I’d just be curious to see what “responsible use” translates to, and how it’s enforced.
"The Debian Project nevertheless expects that all contributions submitted to Debian, regardless of how and with which tools they were produced, satisfy the same standards of quality, correctness, maintainability, and legal compliance. The use of a generative AI tool does not diminish the contributor’s responsibility for the work they submit. Contributors are expected to understand, review, test, and, where appropriate, modify AI-assisted output before incorporating it into Debian. "
Basically, however it was written, you’re still responsible for it.
So basically like how the Linux kernel project does it. That’s fair.
Wait, what’s with the rational thinking! We’re supposed to hate Debian now because any approach that isn’t zero-tolerance to AI is evil. Security will escort you out now.
I really had hope on proposal A to be taken… i have faith in debian devs judgement and proposal B feels closer to “keep the door open” than to embrace it.
A sad day anyway.
Whole lot of cope going on in these comments.
Even the winning proposal text was AI Generated. Sloppers everywhere
AI is an effective tool if used correctly. It doesn’t replace thinking, so handle it with care.
Nobody sane would keep bashing a table with a hammer expecting different results than the table breaking under pressure at some point.

You can’t stop AI.

Yeah, I was pretty militant about it before, but the horse is out of the barn and no amount of head-in-sand will make it go away.
