In my opinion we should accept contributions from LLM’s, provided the
origin of the code is clearly stated somehow (pr title, comment line,
etc.). I don’t think this is something which could avoid, anyway.

There is a missing point here. To me, free software is all about
empathy: I feel concerned about you, provided you feel concerned about
me. Why this is relevant in this context ? Because I’m thinking about code
reviews.

If your contribution is not important enough for you to bother writing
it by yourself, don’t expect me to read it, even less expend some time
doing a serious review.

This apply as a general rule in all what relates LLM generated text, and
so the importance of clearly stating the origin of the text.
