Can you give an example? Not sure what you're referring to.
'gates' can be used in several ways.
gate - door - "the garden gate"
gate - controversy - "gamergate""
gate - metaphorical barrier - "this site is age gated", "This gates the product from universal adoption"
What should we call them then? I certainly used the term code gate to refer to a code review process prior to the mainstream use of LLMs.
