Curious what the "use" or "assistance" of LLM models means. I mostly use Gemini as a front-end to search Google without getting ads or SEO garbage, would that be forbidden?

Even if they wanted to forbid that, how would they even detect it?

  • Some people want to uphold the rule even if they can't be caught.

    • Some people find a duty to ignore senseless rules.

      If Debian wants to make the LLM thing good, sue the providers for a billion or two for copyright violation, and join a class action to do some ASCAP style thing routing their money back to copyright holders. Separately, lobby to regulate data center build outs to include the solar and battery they need, and not be built in water stressed areas or near people who object. And understand the trillions thing is quite likely a dotcom style over investment and will vaporize in the next few years when all these pools of capital are either regulated or more likely off to ruin some other sector with too much money.

  • Asking for good-faith compliance, and failing that, simply waiting for slop enthusiasts to publicly brag about using LLMs to break the rules. All evidence suggests that it is impossible for slop enthusiasts to resist outing themselves for any significant span of time.
