Yes. There are pockets of hardline anti-LLM policies for various reasons.

SourceHut bans LLM generated code from their platform https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49461724

The Asahi Linux project bans LLMs. Unfortunate as LLM reverse engineering and driver writing would bring Linux to more Mac models much faster.

The Zig project rejects LLM based contributions.

Some of these policies were introduced when LLMs were really bad at writing code and haven’t been revisited. Some groups don’t care about the quality and object on moral or copyright grounds.

notice how mainstream those projects aren’t

Precisely why Debian Project's decision is both baffling and infuriating.

I hope Debian forks over this. They have severely lost their way.

Debian is a democracy; this policy is the result of a vote. A majority of contributors found it acceptable.

Note that Debian is mostly an aggregation of packages. There's nothing wrong with Debian importing a package that was written by AI, if it's something that people want to install. The questionable copyright of that package does not taint Debian as a whole. Debian allows public domain packages, so it wouldn't even be a DFSG violation.

There's also nothing wrong with an AI-written install script (if it's correct) because those are likely too trivial to copyright anyway.

What are your specific worries? Mine is brain rot.

Debian gives attribution to every single open source project in existence that is capable of running on Linux, and is Free Software. It is exactly the project that shouldn't worry about copyright.

The "moral" argument I haven't even heard. It's just people pouring out invective, likely imo because Ruby-monkey is not going to be a $150K job anymore. I have problems with these companies, but companies who are problematic can be targeted specifically, and somehow everybody started using Facebook's frontend framework and Microsoft's IDE, all on MacBooks, and this is what they're throwing a shitfit about. To me it's narcissism, not a coherent moral objection.

If you hate these companies (as you should), there are open models. But most didn't object to anything that didn't threaten their income.

if it does, that fork is dead by the end of the year

i don’t think you understand just how niche you already are
