@thomasadam @holsta @babe The arguments raised by project leadership was rejection of genAI on legal and quality grounds. Quality aside (it is subjective and applies equally to handwritten contributions) this leaves the copyright legal questions which I think are a weak position against genAI. Because as soon as laws change in genAI's favour the argument stops being valid.

Honestly, if there was a voting system in the OpenBSD project (there isn't) I would expect a similar result to the one from Debian. While there are developers with strong green/left political positions, there are an equal, if not more, people who fall into the middle and conservative camps. I once tried to get Hitler quotes removed from fortune files and that showed a huge division on the subject. I had to ask everyone to stop the discussion and leave my private inbox alone and dropped the proposal.

I believe quality gating will keep openbsd fairly free of nonsense AI code. So by all means, use it and you can largely ignore the AI stuff. But don't go into the community expecting a completely left-wing/green aligned crowd. That is not a valid reason to stick around there.
