Re: Dealing with LLMs in IETF discussions draft

Old rule for a good IETF spec: Can a good coder write
a correctly working as intended by the spec model from the draft/RFC ?

Apply to the subject here: Can an AI clueless ESL IETF
contributor apply the draft to use AI in a way
that improves his/her IETF discussions/contributions ?

I just think there is way too much theorizing about AI and
its problems or benefits in everything written and discussed and no
suffieicently easily enough applied actual guidance by example.

Don't get me wrong. The theorizing is getting better and
better, but in the same way that IETF WGs typically consider
actually implementable specs as the core of their deliverables
and theories, architectures and other documents as supplemental
material, i also consider this theorizing to be supplemental at best.
And condemning at worst.
