Re: Question about: Debian puts artificial intelligence to a vote; developers will decide how to accept AI-generated or assisted code

How will you know for sure that code is developed by AI?

Lets consider a new app:

Case 1) 100% developed by a human

Case 2) Developed by human with the aid of AI

Case 3) 100% developed by AI

What criterion would you use to judge the difference???

Are you not proposing to disenfranchise whole new generations of 
contributors?

I suspect that in the future all or most coders will use AI for 
assistance? Heresy!!

Lets stop this new form of discrimination NOW!
