Will FreeBSD adopt a No-AI policy or such?

Just finished reading an article about how AI cannot replace one's use of craftsmanship which, coincidentally, is a tag in my byline. A point briefly mentioned, but not dwelt on, made me ask, "Will AI stop us from asking questions? If you don't ask questions then you aren't exploring. If you aren't exploring how do you discover?"

Since AI's results only happen from past information, it doesn't seem it can discover new areas on its own. I don't mean finding bugs or a fancy algorithm. I mean could it discover digital logic before anyone knew what digital logic was? Could it develop FreeBSD before anyone knew what an operating system was? I don't think so.
 
The cost and accountability I mentioned earlier are not only the impact on craftmanship or the slop produced, but environmental impact. Also the price for memory and other hardware is spiking. That's what you are paying out of pocket. The other price you pay out of your time to live is still unknown. And the most funny thing is, you are paying it while someone pockets the proceeds. Wether you use AI or not.
 
As long as shareholders pay, with speculative money. No problem for me. But somehow this has relation with "quantitative easoning". Haha, catch you.

Good for you.
People are paying with increased energy costs, noise, pollution, hardware costs, ... Our children and grandchildren will pay for this with more global warming, storms, forced migration, ... It is not so much the AI slop that is bothering me (that can be avoided), it's these extra shite they put on all of us, no matter what we do or want.
 
You cannot escape. Its called "quantitative easining". Its money which does not exists goes to big banks then to small banks to investors. Who have big ideas but not for your good. The problem is inherit in economic system. And its not ai to blame. So question is how get ai get its money.
Even if there is no turnout or revenue. ? Data in star-trek would say illogical. :)
 
I will say more go to local bank. Ask a little bit of money, for house with your wife.
They will ask. What do you make net new on your account. Each month with proof.
If not ok, see you later alligator. Come back later.
But AI companies are above. They dont need to prove nothing.
Full details i do not understand. But like they say in English, "somethings wrotten in the state of Denmark".
 
Here would be my proposed policy: FreeBSD will only accept good quality code. And code that has a copyright and a license that allows FreeBSD to use it. Period, end of policy.

Whether that code is written by real men, real women, or real furry creatures from Alpha Centauri makes no difference at all. If an AI can write code every bit as good as that of other submitters, and the AI can make a reasonable (believable) argument that the copyright/license situation is no problem, that's fine with me. Exactly the same as if Marvin the Martian had written the code.
