Though it has been discussed on-list that this policy could be seen as
forbiding assistive technologies, but that this was not the intent of
the Gentoo Council's wording.

Didn't they?  Do you have a source for that?

As someone who was present at the initital discussion, I can assure that
banning accessibility helps was not the intention.

+1 (as someone else who also voted on it). We may amend it to make this
part clear in future.

Thanks.  I find the wording to imply that it also prohibits assistive
technologies (and I like that sense).  I'd add a paragraph claifying it
in the sense of disallowing them:

Eh? We're saying we *don't* want to do that.

Yup.  I'm saying I disagree with you, which is why I added a paragraph
clarifying the sense.

OK, but that's not a clarification, it's a substantive change (that I don't think there's consensus for).

Cheers,
Alex

   It is expressly forbidden to contribute to this project any
   content that has been created with the assistance of artificial
   intelligence tools.

   This also includes AI-based assistive tools used in the
   contributing process, even if such tools do not generate the
   contributed code.

This includes for example AI-based linters and static analyzers.


Cheers,
Alex
