- The Asahi Linux project bans the use of Large Language Models (LLMs), referred to as 'Slop Generators', in any capacity, including code, documentation, and engineering decisions.
- LLMs are prone to regurgitating copyrighted or confidential material from their training data, posing legal risks for FOSS projects like Asahi Linux.
- The environmental impact of LLMs is significant, consuming vast amounts of resources in training and inference, which the project deems wasteful.
- Using LLMs to answer questions in forums is discouraged, as it's seen as unhelpful and equivalent to posting a 'LMGTFY' link.
- LLMs lack true understanding, reasoning, or the ability to assess the truthfulness of their outputs, making them unreliable for critical tasks.
