So just in order to fill out the plural form of the word "groups", perhaps we should mention at least one other approach of a different group, for example Gentoo:

: It is expressly forbidden to contribute to Gentoo any content
: that has been created with the assistance of Natural Language
: Processing artificial intelligence tools.

Furthermore, personally I would question whether it is wise to try to seek a "middle ground" as long as the serious ethical and legal issues related to LLMs are entirely unsolved.
