Gentoo bans AI-created contributions

There's no real reason to believe this will happen. For one, the big inherent problem of this type of system, just making shit up, really makes it unsuitable to use for anything but optional autocomplete, especially compared to the more specialized models that already exist. Secondly, while the AI boosters keep talking about exponential improvements, that hasn't actually happened. GPT-4 was released a year ago and the best openai can do is a few percentage point improvement on some benchmarks. Which is not what you'd expect in a field where improvements are supposedly so low hanging that people predict a doubling of capability (unspecified) every 18 months. Hardware has been looking a bit better with the usual dozen percentage points perf/w we've come to expect every 2-3 years, but it's hardly revolutionary either.

It also remains to be seen how much development effort will remain with this technology when investors realize it's been severely overhyped in two or three quarters or however long it'll take them.
