    Completely performative.

    You build your OS atop thousands of open source packages, many of which contain AI generated code. Are you going to audit them one by one and remove offending packages? What about the ones you won't remove because the OS would be irreparably broken?

      It's not. Read the article, they have a good reason for banning it and it's not because they hate LLMs.
