We are also discussing whether using AI should be allowed -- I don't
think it's fair to ask people to follow the rules enforced by one of the
ballot options until it has won.

If proposals A (and probably C) won, I would of course respect the
outcome, and stop using AI in the context of Debian (which would
probably mean stopping most of my contributions, because I don't think
I'll find the motivation to continue).

Now, I'd like to point out that my mail:
* disclosed the use of AI at the start, so you can stop reading there
* uses AI for a use case (summarizing stuff) where the output is easy to
  check
* points to AI-assisted content, but is not AI-assisted itself. Ian
  declined to comment if that would be a CoC violation if Proposal C won
  (see my last example, and his follow-up in
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2026/07/msg00175.html )

Of course, besides the comparison of options which I believe is useful
in itself, my mail is also intended as an example of how AI could help
*improve* human-to-human communications by providing summarizes of
complex discussions.

And in the interest of saving kittens/resources, I think that it is
useful to share such outputs to avoid having several people run the
exact same analysis.
