I’ve read the current version of the draft in its entirety. My
assessment is still more or less the same: I don’t agree with multiple
things in this policy, but it seems to me that using such a policy for
the time being is the only way to somehow move forward together.

I sense that the text has notably moved towards the “pro-LLM” side.
Sometimes this led to outright wrong statements, like the following:

No, it doesn’t. An author is a person who *created* the work. If the
work was assembled by an LLM, based on only guidelines by the person in
question, then said person acted only as a reviewer, not as an author.

Maybe the more LLM-friendly tone will enable some of the pro-LLM people
to at least tolerate this policy. I think that we shouldn’t move even
further into the pro-LLM direction to please even more people.

All the best,
Wolfgang
