I mean... I think they're right though. LLMs aren't intentionally malicious. They're just incompetent.
End result is the same.
While I still need to review LLM-generated code, I generally don't have to worry about it being malicious the way an unknown contributor's code could be.
Prefering a LLM's code over a Human's is just a wild statement lmao
That's a lot of text for saying "I suck at code reviews".
How much time does it take to reject a pull request because you don't understand it?
We see a project like curl outright banning AI-made / assisted PRs due to the overwhelming burden those put on the human reviewers. It's a DDoS aimed at people, either to shut them down or to force them into using yet another LLM to automate reviews and merges.
The danger is real. Overwhelming the people who have maintained the backbones of our digital infrastructure will result in a total collapse of that infrastructure. How can ad brokers continue to profit if there's no way to get the ad displayed to prospective consumers? How can totalitarian regimes sway public opinion in a foreign nation if they can't share their memes and propaganda?
