Call for proposals: Reviewing, testing, and managing LLM generated Haskell

The Haskell Foundation does not currently have an official position on this topic. There’s been no board vote on LLMs and/or their use.

Here’s what I do know:

• Many of our sponsors have found the use of LLMs in their companies to be useful and worthwhile, and are hoping to learn from each other.
• Many of the open source projects in the Haskell Ecosystem are currently either setting policies around the use of LLMs for contributions or considering doing so.

Part of the motivation for a quick turnaround is that it seems like a useful time to hear various perspective and learn from each other. Yes, this means that it’s likely many talks will be about how to use LLMs for Haskell more effectively. But if you’re a maintainer and are currently frustrated with LLM generated contributions, please also submit a talk proposal! In the same way we wouldn’t want a talk that’s just “LLMs are the future” with no explanation, we wouldn’t want a talk that’s just a rant with no examples. The points of workshops is to learn from each other and prompt discussion. The Haskell Foundation wants to be a body that helps mediate these discussions.

As @Jappie states, the topics written by @jaror would be in scope.
