Linus Torvalds said last week that LLMs were just a tool. Lorenzo Stoakes had the impeccable rebuttal that "it's a tool in the same way a nuclear bomb is just a tool" - of course it's useful but there is clearly more to it than that.

I'm happy for Debian to at least consider the other aspects of social impact, ethics, copyright, and maintainability.

An LLM is a tool.

A nuclear bomb is a tool.

And programmers are the biggest tools of them all.

You wouldn't program a computer with a nuclear bomb!!!
