@alexchapman@vee.seedy.cc @dansup@mastodon.social if a maintainer wants LLM-generated contributions, they can do the prompting themselves. Why would they need to accept outside contributions from users who may or may not know a damn thing about the project?
A random person with an LLM adds no value.
We’ve survived without LLMs for thousands of years: I think we can keep surviving a few more years without having to use them everywhere. Get used to the idea that people can choose to say no to them.

@jzb@hachyderm.io Because there's not just random people with an LLM, there's people that know what they are doing, yet find it easier to have an agent do the manual task of writing the code. As I said, there are people that have difficulty doing the coding part, but the testing and the rest they can do without a problem. Its more nuanced than just random people using LLMs to generate code and then make PRs. The people at KDE did it right, no promoting LLMs, just good quality code regardless how it was written. @dansup@mastodon.social

@jzb@hachyderm.io Thank you for your reply, I would have been way less cordial had I written mine.
