This is about contributing code that was co-created with an llm like copilot. Not about adding "AI" features to fedora.
that's a fair point, though at least with projects like fedora, commits are public and can be broadly scrutinised, and since this stipulates that the use of LLMs must be disclosed, I'd hope that'd keep its use firmly under the spotlight.
Well sure... the point of a warning label on the side of a product is to allow you to make informed choices if you want to use that product. A warning label saying "we're condoning the use of unethical practices" allows me to decide I would rather seek a different product.
another fair point, by allowing it at all they're condining its use. i personally see it less as condoning and more that they acknowledge its wide use in the field, and that they probably cannot prevent its contributors from using it entirely.
I'd be interested in how many commits come in from now suggesting the use of llms.
Well that’s what “condone” means fwiw.
I see it the same as how steam does the same thing with requiring disclosure of ai use on store pages now. And I treat it the same way if I see it I make a consumer choice to not support the game.
What disturbed me was reading the minutes of the meeting that people seemed genuinely excited to include gen ai code. To me that speaks to an ethos that is highly divergent from what I would like to see and what should be happening. It doesn’t feel like it’s “welp I guess we gotta let people do it” and more “oh boy we can finally use it”. And with all the companies that make llm how long before some back door evil nonsense sneaks in. To say I’m dubious would be an understatement. 🤷
That's understandable, I'm inclined to react the same way to games on steam.
I hadn't checked in with how that discussion went down; that's disappointing. I just settled into fedora after fully moving on from windows earlier in this year (have been multi-booting for several years prior). Time will tell if this all goes to shit as well.
