I’m not mad at the decision in the least, I’d just be curious to see what “responsible use” translates to, and how it’s enforced.

"The Debian Project nevertheless expects that all contributions submitted to Debian, regardless of how and with which tools they were produced, satisfy the same standards of quality, correctness, maintainability, and legal compliance. The use of a generative AI tool does not diminish the contributor’s responsibility for the work they submit. Contributors are expected to understand, review, test, and, where appropriate, modify AI-assisted output before incorporating it into Debian. "
Basically, however it was written, you’re still responsible for it.
And that’s the only thing that is actually relevant. Using AI tools does not absolve of any responsibility, regardless of area. Speaking of which, why isn’t Huggingface suing OpenAI into oblivion? I’ve slowly come to the conclusion that this “hack” was a PR-stunt to allow OpenAI to pause training without having to admit that they had to stop anyways because they run out of cash.

Well HuggingFace won’t sue them now because they’re owned by Nvidia

Every story you read about how their AI is “so powerful it’s scary” or where they characterize the AI as “going rogue” or some other dumb shit like that is manufactured in an attempt to impress investors

See all the copycat “oh our AI went rogue too” announcements after OpenAI did it.
