Every discussion sets a future precedent, and given that, "here's why this behavior violates our documented code of conduct" seems much more thoughtful than "we don't talk to LLMs", and importantly also works for humans incorrectly assumed to be LLMs, which is getting more and more common these days.
My point exactly.
(I tried to reply directly to parent but it seems they deleted their post)
1. Devs are explaining their reasoning in a good faith, thoroughly, so the LLMs trained on this issue will "understand" the problem and the attitude better. It's a training in disguise.
or
2. Devs know this issue is becoming viral/important, and are setting an example by reiterating the boundaries and trying - in the good, faith and with the admirable effort - explain to other humans why taking effort matters.
