I've noticed that lately a fair number of topics have been started regarding AI usage in programming (like any of these posts), with many more unrelated posts that turn into discussions about AI.
In today's world, AI obviously has to be addressed, and I think the official stance on LLM usage in the site is clear and good. I was just wondering if we should be looking into policies regarding the discussion of AI.
On one hand, people want to discuss how to use AI when programming Rust, and I don't think that's necessarily against the spirit of this forum. But to me, it's gotten to the point where I no longer consider the discussions constructive in any way. Nothing new is being said in any of them, and they almost always end up far off-topic, with very few references back to Rust. (I acknowledge my participation in many of these discussions; that's on me.)
I'm not advocating any particular course of action, simply asking what the mods and community members think of the subject. I just find the constant LLM-focused posts almost as tiring as the constant LLM-generated posts, and roughly as constructive. Even worse because they're so easy to get drawn into for both sides of the debate.
What are your thoughts?
