I would prefer this, and with a disclaimer at the top of every post saying:
- that it's not pre-vetted by project representatives
- briefly describing the issue of hallucination, and that readers are
strongly advised to follow up on links before relying on any
information.
-- outside readers may not be as suspicious of LLMs as many of us
are, so it is good for us to remind them.

If I am being honest, I would prefer these were not generated and posted
at all. I'm sorry that I feel I have to be discouraging, as I know you
want to use these tools in a way that is compatible with Debian's values.
But doesn't it seem like we're trying to apply a technical solution,
with many well-known shortcomings, to a social problem? That problem
is, we should be more disciplined about writing less.
One of our conduct documents even has this as one of its points: that we
should continually bear in mind the many demands on everyone's time.
