From the article:
The policy summarizes itself this way:
It’s fine to use LLMs to answer questions, analyze, distill, refine, check, suggest, review. But not to create.
Uses in the first category are allowed, sometimes requiring disclosure. Uses in the second category are heavily restricted.
Seems pretty level-headed to me.
Agreed… although this still leaves the horrible environmental effects and losing any kind of ownership ofethe code
But solely in terms of using “ai” as a tool, it is a sensible approach
