We clearly have vanishingly low invocation of the existing policy though, at least for the OpenStack codebases.
Now that could be due to one of several reasons, including:
(a) very low genAI tool usage among our contributors
or:
(b) widespread non-observance of the policy's requirements
or: (c) generative AI is good at producing code when it was trained on a million examples of similar code (like using a popular javascript library), but not good at producing code that's rare, unusual, or in a unique problem domain. An LLM trained on Nova code might be useful for writing Nova code, but most generative AI tools won't be. It sounds like a good next step would be to have a conversation with developers, rather than making assumptions about what developers want or need. Allison
