Mainly. I don't want to put words in his mouth (its an extremely early project without any formal announcement or anything), but there are nearly zero distributions where eliminating the reliance on AI-generated components is actually the goal. You have distros like Gentoo which don't use AI for development, but this has no impact on the system architecture, and with the kernel, sysutils, graphics libs, browsers, major programming languages, etc. all turning into slop, there is a dire need for an operating system which is ideologically committed to maintaining sane engineering practices.

NetBSD has suddenly become popular as one of the last untainted OSes (excluding some externally-maintained components), but as a project / foundation, this is not due to any strong ideological commitments, and it is likely the priorities of maintaining NetBSD and building a no-AI base system (or salvaging a lot of Linuxy/GPL components) are not fully aligned.
