I am confused, how is a translator comparable to an LLM that primarily serves as a generator? Just because it’s powered by some neural network behind the scenes?
That's precisely my point. What does "AI-backed" mean exactly? The RFC doesn't ban LLM, but "AI-backed" contributions. Technically from my understanding and interpretation DeepL would fall under that category and would be banned from being used but in the linked thread people seem to agree that DeepL usage is fine. So where do you draw the line? How do you define which "AI-backed" contributions are still fine and which aren't. Eventually different contributors will have different opinions and it will get messy.
The RFC specifically mentions tools like Bard, ChatGPT and Co-Pilot as what it considers to be ban-worthy.
If I’m going to be extremely pedantic about it: with Co-Pilot, the a actual contents of the contribution are AI generated. With a translator like DeepL, the contents are authored by the contributor, the translation tool just translations what’s already there
