Hi Ian,
While I very much agree with your sentiments toward LLMs, I
think you
should stay. Divide and conquer has always been a technique
used to
attack FLOSS, and I believe that in our modern uncertain time,
we have
to stick together.
People can change their perception about something, usually
through
discussions with peoples that have different opinions. By
ostracizing
yourself, you remove your point of view from the community and
thus your
influence on others that your voice carries.
I urge you to stay and fight for your point of view instead.
For
examplel, you can refuse to review PRs made with LLM. I'm sure
you can
find other way of protesting against LLM, within the community.
Respectfully, no thank you. I don’t want to fight, I just want to
hack on things in peace. Perhaps it’s selfish to want the benefit
without putting in the effort, nevertheless, it’s how I feel. I
have limited free time and will not squander it on things that
bring me no joy.
I will reevaluate when and if the situation changes.
Just so you know, Guile recently adopted a total ban on LLM
usage for
contributions. It is not all lost.
Yes, I was happy to see this. But I’m not a Guile contributor.
-- Ian
