But, besides the issue that AI is very poorly defined, just using AI as an
umbrella term conflates too many different uses. We have already discussed
we have several packages including sets-of-weights-derived-from-ML
(i.e. for chess gameplay, for image editing). The discussion at hand
centers on having code generated by a LLM, not on having models derived
from learning on a given dataset.
