I think we are in agreement that this should not be the community problem.

Could you clarify how did you perceive my comment? I’m not sure how does your response, especially given the tone, follow from it :)

I *think* I reacted strongly to the first part of your post. I just hate the “It’s too hard, let’s pretend the problem does not exist” of hype advocates.

I completely agree the “enthusiasm” and gushing about the greatness of IA has no place in a community policy. That’s pure unadulterated corporate brown-nosing. Good community policies should be dry and to the point, help contributors contribute, not feel like an advert for something else.

I see. The intent of that part of my comment does not contradict your sentiment.

If it is too hard or impossible to guarantee that the license of LLM output is compliant with the rules - it doesn’t make sense to me to encourage or perhaps even allow usage of such tools until this is ironed out by their proponents.

I’m focusing my opinion here specifically on the licensing question, aside from other potentially problematic things.
