Hi all,

I know there's been a lot of discussion/concern and policy decisions around
usage of LLMs for authoring content in Wikimedia projects.

I wonder if there's been similar discussion around AI coding for technical
editors? I'm not sure I've seen it "go by". Can someone link to where these
discussions are happening?

I also wanted to share a policy I wrote for WP1:

Cheers,
-Travis
