You are, of course, allowed to use LLMs in a personal context however you see fit. For example, you may use LLMs for exploring the codebase, research, debugging and bouncing around your ideas.
It’s funny they say “of course” — because this statement is enough for the project to go on the open-slopware list as “condones LLM ingestion”.
That’s funny, that “of course” is the only thing I thought I might edit out if I end up using this as a template. I agree that it should be common sense but words like “obvious” “of course” and “common sense” often inflame people.
Good point, thanks. I’ll edit it out. I have to think about a better way to get this point across. Maybe a footnote that explains that personal use is simply out of scope for the policy…
I’m not sure if I understand your comment correctly. The “of course” part is there because I think it’s none of my business. Even if I believe using LLMs in any way is bad, I don’t get to tell you what to do. While I think this should be obvious, I still included it for clarity.
It would be neat if the project also spoke out against GenAI as a whole. Regardless of policy, a notice stating that the project condemns GenAI is always nice. :3
Very smart LLM policy.

I don’t think this statement needs to be there honestly.
It’s already a given whatever we like it or not.

I agree with your position. It’s just funny that you (and me) think that’s not our business, but others would already shame the project for that. ;)
