“If they had restricted it to only open-source local models”

Is this even remotely enforceable? Stylometry can pretty effectively determine between AI and human written text ( not sure about code specifically since those are much stricter languages), but can it tell the difference between models or even if the LLM was run locally? (almost certainly not in the latter case).

This whole thread seems to be unaware about Debian… so I’ll give an actual answer.

Debian only actually updates their software packages every 2 years, this is for stability purposes. However you still need to fix some severe bugs so about every 2-3 months Debian does point releases that are only updating for security fixes. This is one of them.

When Debian 14 actually releases it will upgrade nearly all of the packages that are in your base system.

Chatgpt just cribs from stack overflow, which in turn just cribs their answers from documentation. Once you figure that out, they both become surprisingly useless.
