Additionally, the author raises quality and ethical concerns. They argue that AI tools can generate misleading content and that not all contributors may be aware of the risks associated with using these tools. The author also criticizes AI corporations for their disregard for copyright and people, their contribution to energy waste, and their role in the exploitation of IT workers. They propose that Gentoo should differentiate itself by ensuring its content is "made by real people" and calls for policies to prevent the influx of low-quality content.
Key takeaways:
- The author suggests banning AI-backed contributions to Gentoo, including the use of tools like ChatGPT, Bard, and GitHub Copilot for creating ebuilds, code, documentation, messages, bug reports, etc.
- There are copyright concerns around generated content, as AI tools are often trained on large amounts of copyrighted material, potentially leading to legal issues.
- Quality concerns are raised as AI tools can generate content that appears plausible but may not be accurate or reliable.
- The author also raises ethical concerns, including the exploitation of IT workers, the energy waste caused by AI, and the negative impact of AI on the internet.
