The GCC stance seems reasonable to me, where do we think the rage is coming from in comments like this?
Off the cuff, I would be surprised if the GNU project embraced AI, so I'm confused that people think so strongly otherwise.
If the only way you know how to code is via LLM, it makes sense you would get defensive/ragey when someone discourages it.
There seem to be a set of people who treat AI as religion which then makes anything opposing it (even mildly) into heresy.
Entitlement, insecurity, a demand to be treated as a "real" engineer while understanding only a fraction of the code you produce.
At face value a policy that essentially prohibits AI generated implementation seems entirely unreasonable to me.
Can't speak for others but I'm just tired of hearing far-fetched copyright concerns that mask the real motivation (ideological opposition to LLMs).
