[tldoc] TeXLive plans in writing the documentation: will be human or chatgpt generated text?

[Norbert Preining]

Hi Carlos,

thanks for your long message, but I think you got a few things up-side-down ;-)

Whatever being in cahoots might mean, rest assured, we have not been bought
by any of the big LLM-using companies.

No, the TUG is not promoting. Discussing current developments and their
use is not a promotion nor endorsement.

Rest assured!

And for the rest of your modern technology panic driven "ramblings" 
(as you called them) - LLM based systems are a tool, like many other 
tools. They can be used in a good way and in a bad way. Life goes on.
As a great engineer once said: In the future, ChatGPT/etc will not
take over our job as engineers, it will not be GPT versus engineers,
it will be engineers using GPT versus engineers not using GPT. It is
up to you to choose the tools you like.

But please, spare us with any further technology ramblings.

Thanks in advance

Norbert
