I've been running Gentoo for 20 years. What you consider "Gentoo" is simply the package manager and "ebuilds"; instructions to build upstream packages. Right now I'm using LLMs to make my own ebuilds and maintain them. The packages I am compiling are basically vanilla upstream Linux packages. It is laughable to suggest Gentoo doesn't use AI made code because upstream already has it.

Their policy doesn't cover upstream, it's only for the Gentoo project specifically. It's clearly infeasible for them (or Debian) to try to control what their upstreams do, especially with the kernel accepting LLM contributions now.
