But I never said I let AI do whatever it wants, it's a very useful tool, but it it still - just a tool. If we had reached singularity by now, this discussion would look entirely different :) In my code, since I started with Copilot, most of the bytes are actually an output of their LLM. But if I didn't guide it, the bytes coming out of it wouldn't make much sense. Of course I'm still responsible.

It'd be an entirely different discussion if there was so advanced LLM that I'd just tell it what to do and it would even submit the change without my intervention, possibly without even having to read the commit... but the tech is not there and I suspect it'll take a while before it gets there... thus it's so far IMHO pretty irrelevant *how* the contributor comes to the result they want to contribute, it's the result that matters - and it is still *their* action to contribute that piece. LLMs might just be a new (and a pretty strong) +1 reason to ban _some_ contributors, who are wasting maintainer's time...
