This is skeptical. NetBSD is already the most anti-AI BSD out there. They clearly ban AI-generated content (code and email). One exception is that their core team can sign off AI-generated pull requests, but so far they never did.

AlpineBSD has four tiers of exposure in their package registry so that the user can choose how tainted they want their system to be. This is less ideal if the goal is to not have slop in the system.

    The tainted package repos are separated from the clean ones, akin to the way Debian handles non-libre software.

    Honestly, it's a good compromise: the base system is clean, and the rest can be cleaned up over time as alternatives and forks are created.

    I'd also like to point out that it's not strictly a proper BSD, as it often prefers GNU and BusyBox in the userspace.

    What excites me most is the proof of concept here; I'm considering trying to make a Arch-like OS built on the NetBSD kernel.
