Earlier quoted context omitted.

The repo it links to presents their reasons for tracking and potentially avoiding LLM-supported projects; are all of those ridiculous? Is the technology's track record so amazing as to make the conclusion ridiculous? Or did you mean tar as a replacement to rsync, specifically? [0] https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware

Yes and Yes and Yes. I’m not an AI maximalist, but this is an extreme position that I believe is, in fact, ridiculous.

Isn't a huge part of the point of developing in the open so that people can assess the entire technology, including how its developed, and choose if they want to use it?

Folks using LLMs will have to accept that that will turn people away from using their software ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
