I'm seeing some #Emacs users whining that GNU allowing #LLM assisted contributions would be "unethical". Some even went so far as to fork a "Human Emacs".Give me a break. LLMs learn the same way you do; the difference is, they're capable of learning far more than you can. And they work the same way your mind works: by predicting next actions based on new input and current state. They think "out loud" as they go, but it's still thought.Or is it "unethical" for you to learn by reading others' code at all? For artists to look at others' art at all? Seriously? πŸ™„Or do you imagine your thoughts come out of nowhere?What's unethical is keeping Emacs mired in hopelessly antiquated code, and its users suffering the results. If GNU ends up banning LLM contributions permanently, I'd love to see an Inhuman Emacs. πŸ”₯
