This is a very timely discussion for the community.

I put some of my thoughts on the topic in a recent blog post: https://blog.scientific-python.org/scientific-python/community-considerations-around-ai/

Somewhere in between the die-hard-no-AI stance and full-on hype, I think there are careful patterns of working with AI that can be beneficial to our ecosystem. We will have to do some exploring to figure out how it best fits within our culture of working, and what good guardrails are.
