I tend to agree with the above.  AI is just another tool, and I trust
DDs to use it appropriately.

I probably would not use AI to write large blocks of code, because I
find that auditing the quality of AI generated code is harder than just
writing the code in most cases.

I might:

* use debgpt to guess answers to questions about packaging that I could
  verify in some manner.

* Use generative AI to suggest names of projects, help improve
  descriptions, summarize content, etc.

* See if generative AI could help producing a message with a desired
  tone.
