The GNU Guix distro has published its condemnation of AI(LLM),
which should better be known as "stochastic text generators"
because there is no intelligence involved anywhere.

The title is “Standing up for human crafting” and the link
is:

<https://codeberg.org/guix/guix-consensus-documents/pulls/13>

In case the link doesn't work, here is what I consider to be a major
point:

  - The narrative around the output of genAI tends to demean human
	creativity, to [discourage the learning and knowledge sharing
	processes](https://cekrem.github.io/posts/programming-as-theory-building-part-ii)
	at the core of free software, and to [discourage free software
	contributions by humans](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.15494).  We
	believe it [stifles individual
	autonomy](https://ali-alkhatib.com/blog/defining-ai) at a
	fundamental level—replacing one’s ability to build up knowledge with
	a false sense of quick achievement, building up [cognitive
	debt](https://simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/15/cognitive-debt/)—while
	also [weakening communities and destroying
	labor power](https://tante.cc/2026/04/21/ai-as-a-fascist-artifact/).


Indeed. Stochastic Text Generators are embraced only by namby-pamby
functional illiterates who totally lack any form of creative potential.
They are the ghost writers (or ghost programmers) in a box to provide
their pathetic users with a semblance of actual accomplishment.

I say "piss on" all Stochastic Text Generators and all those who support
them.
