Maybe High-Fructose Corn Syrup would be a good analogy for #LLM code? It's a crap nobody would want, except that abundance of subsidized corn creates an incentive to stuff it into everything.

@kornel@mastodon.social yeah the dynamic where it especially doesn't make sense to accept LLM-written submissions is a huge issue here. Even if you're pro-LLM generated code, a rando has no advantage over just letting the maintainers use the same thing (why not just give them money in that case?) The main reason to make unsolicited "submissions" is you're a startup trying to use the free labor of code reviewers to train your agentic coding product.
