LLMs are here to stay. Attempting to ban them is going nowhere.

A better approach is define rules ok how to use them. More and more tools will add some sort of LLM based features.

I'd rather see a push for open / free alternatives instead of leaving the field to the big cloud providers. There are some but they need more help, banning them for sure doesn't help.

Yes, I have to say this is hilarious to me - these tools are only going to grow in their use. And we’re going to just *stamps foot* ban them.

Well, I’m going to keep using it to turn out boilerplate API code and smaller utility pieces that make up the boring part of my work. I don’t really see why forcing me to type those out by hand makes the world a better place. And I don’t contribute to Gentoo, so we’re fine.
