I'm strongly in the "against LLM" camp and I am also strongly of the opinion that you should *not* have to disclose your use when you use it as an accessibility technology. I strongly believe that even if we had a rule "all LLM assisted contributions must be marked as such" any such rule should make an exception for anything accessibility related. I wonder if there is anybody on this list who would want to require you to disclose your use of LLM assistance because of your disability? I'd hope not... I'd hope that you can continue to use whatever makes your daily interactions better. I watched your debconf talk from back in the day and if you have upgraded your setup I would be very interested to watch an updated version of that talk. Thanks! cheers, josch
