This repo contains various commits that have either Claude or Copilot listed as a co-author. This makes me wonder if OPF has any (publicly published) position or policy on the use of generative AI/LLMs in its software? For some examples, see here:
https://github.com/melissawm/open-source-ai-contribution-policies
The Elementary OS policy pretty much sums up my personal concerns:
-
The potential negative influence of AI generated content on quality.
-
Legal complications such as the inability to claim copyright and ensure others' licensing and copyright have not been violated.
-
Ethical concerns including but not limited to those regarding intellectual property theft, environmental impact, externalities that primarily impact already-marginalized groups, devaluing labor for the purpose of concentrating power among the billionaire class, etc.
Moreover, I'm concerned that OPF embracing generative AI in odf-validator may ultimately encourage contributors of other OPF software projects to open pull requests with LLM-generated code. As I'm the the main author of one those projects (Jpylyzer), this is not something I'm particularly looking forward to.
