I found myself consulting more and more with AI regarding my code. Like
- when I have a specific use-case - I explain my idea to the AI and ask
for advice. Or just give it my code to review, something that I don't
really mind to give to the cloud AI company - it's actually good at
that, highlighting me what I might be missing when I wrote that.
Also, I give it some simple tasks like 'write a bash script that does
this and that'. This is also fine for me, when I want some minor stuff
to be done, but too lazy to make it myself ;D
Still I'd like to write code myself in most cases, so I'm trying to give
AI brief examples of what I want to do. Also, at my workplace I'm on
NDA, so I can't just throw real corporate code here and there to the
cloud AI anyway.

But I have to say, about regarding the fact that you should not
contribute to Gentoo with the use AI,
which developer in 2026 is not using AI to develop, do they still
developers that are not using AI to at least assist when writing their
code?
probably I went a little off topic but by reading this I had this
thought, Happy new year!!
Kind regards

You haven't addressed Sergey's comment that the mirror specified for
downloading the stage3 tarball, mirror.yer.az, isn't on the list of
Gentoo mirrors:
https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/mirrors/
This is particularly noticeable given that there's an OVH mirror in
that list (albeit IPv4-only), gentoo.mirrors.ovh.net.
On what basis have you specified this mirror? Or did Mistral specify
it, and you assumed it was valid? i note that the Gentoo AI Policy
says in part:
[LLMs] pose both the risk of lowering the quality of Gentoo projects,
and of requiring an unfair human effort from developers and users to
review contributions and detect the mistakes resulting from the use
of AI.
