"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

First of all these are just guidelines not laws, and they seem fairly reasonable to me.
All #3 is really saying is "even if you personally know better, don't be an elitist asshole, the contributor may be an ignorant newbie (possibly even an actual child) trying to contribute the only way they know how, assume ignorance and educate them instead of attacking and shitting on them"
It isn't even saying you should consider (much less that you have to) accept their contribution. It just means try to remember that this is an actual community of actual humans and all of these humans were new once, and even if we remember being young and stupid ourselves, we weren't raised in an informational environment as hostile as the one the tech giants have caused children to be raised in today. People need to be deprogrammed, they're not going to come out of the box hating AI or even understanding it properly, they don't have the tools and the experience and the understanding, that doesn't make them failed humans, that makes them victims, and some of them need our help, not our hatred.
If somebody is trying to contribute to an open source project, even if it's in a stupid way, they're already inherently more salvageable than 99% of the people on the internet. You are doing yourself and everyone a disservice if you drive them away.
