From the article:

The policy summarizes itself this way:

It's fine to use LLMs to answer questions, analyze, distill, refine, check, suggest, review. But not to create.

Uses in the first category are allowed, sometimes requiring disclosure. Uses in the second category are heavily restricted.

Seems pretty level-headed to me.

Interesting policy.. I suspect it falls apart in the details though. Like, there are plenty of creative elements in responding to questions (and any of the other categories). That mean there will be lots of weird edge cases that are hard to adjudicate. And those GenAI components of "non-creative" categories will have ripple effects into the broader project and community (as they are everywhere, so maybe not that important for a.policy to grapple with, IDK).

"refine" vs "create" is already a super grey area
