Re: Participation using AI in WG mailing lists and github repos

[Jeffrey Haas <[e-mail]>]

There are WG participants that theoretically are competent English 
speakers whose output is often indistinguishable from AI slop already.  
Aside from the machines increasing the noise in the system and acting as 
a DDoS on those of us who would prefer to read non-slop, I'm unbothered 
by that particular aspect of things.

As plagiarism machines, my main consideration is that such tool use has 
a very strong possibility of further muddling IPR considerations.

That said, clean English and sanitized output distilled from such 
tooling is likely to be indistinguishable from original IPR.  At best, 
we have to trust voluntary disclosure and potential after the fact 
review for IPR purposes.
