Great insight. Let me see what ChatGPT can cook if we classify each. The tally is now available; might be useful.

### Edit

Re-classified using permit, prohibit, materially_restrict or none_of_the_above as I think these are more accurate labels.

Conclusion: All five proposals that continued to permit AI-assisted direct contributions occupy ranks 1 through 5.

The result is:

permit: 15 wins

restrict/prohibit: 0 wins

Every single permit option beat every single restrictive or prohibitive option head-to-head.

ChatGPT’s interpretation: Debian was divided over how AI-assisted contributions should be handled, but not over whether they should remain permissible: all five permissive proposals outranked every proposal that materially restricted or prohibited them, and permissive proposals won all 15 cross-category head-to-head comparisons.
