The difference is that previously people produced software with the help of tools, while with LLMs they use tools to produce software for them. > This is one of the reasons why I think Simon’s proposal is pretty > good: it focusses on the part of the process that exists in the shared > space that we all occupy: the contribution and review process; our > growth as a community of developers who care about the project. The growth of the community cannot be separated from the growth of its members, and this is influenced by the tools they use. > It seems to me that the *crux* of the most heated disagreements in > this thread is about whether or not use of LLMs is *immoral*. That’s not the only thing. Several people, including me, are worried about the negative effects that LLM use will have on the codebase. I realize that my above remarks didn’t add anything new to the discussion, but apparently some things that were already said have been overlooked or forgotten, so that it was probably worthwhile to repeat them.
