🤖 NetBSD’s New Policy: No Place for AI-Created Code
— @linuxiac
“New development policy: code generated by a large language model or similar technology (e.g. ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot) is presumed to be tainted (i.e. of unclear copyright, not fitting NetBSD’s licensing goals) and cannot be committed to NetBSD.”
🎯 LLM generated code is like particleboard
ᐅ @booniepepper
「 LLM-generated code is for creating software quickly and cheaply. It's for mass-producing parts of software that can be assembled into something working good enough. If and when it breaks, you don't spring for an expensive repair job (like you might for a family heirloom) you just generate a replacement; the equivalent of going to IKEA and buying another $13 end table 」
