I am unsure if GNOME should fully ban LLMs. But if you want to ban them, please justify it the way Jordan did. The argument that they produce slop becomes weaker every day. No, it's the impact on communities and society as a whole that's the problem!
@ju Completely with you on that. I too am a bit unsure if we should go for a full ban, but completely agree that the biggest threats of LLM's is the damage it does to the community.
When I got started, I got helped quite a lot by more senior people even when I did objectively dumb stuff. I feel the willingness to mentor new pople has gotten lower now they just put everything through chatbots. It's mostly just saddening.
@ju We should protect the community aspect, its' what defines the project and the foundation. And essentially it's the community that makes it valuable.

I do wish though that we find some way in the future to be able to use LLMs as well. They are just too useful to completely avoid IMO
