Trolls manipulating public opinion on social media? 🤔 Companies promoting LLM coding tools aren't exactly "small guys". Who do you think is that highly influential puppeteer working against them, pulling the strings to organise such a disinformation campaign? This doesn't make sense to me at all and it looks *a lot* like a conspiracy theory.
And if it's not coordinated, then there is no "FUD campaign", they are people who have an opinion different from yours, they have their own reasons to dislike LLM tools, maybe different reasons, and these people organically find each other an flock together. If you want them to change their minds, like I already said, calling them trolls and dismissing their opinions won't work — it never worked with any polarising topic.
As for not being able to tell machine-generated code from human-written, I don't think that it's the point made in the opening post at all. It's about the project making a choice to implement an LLM-based submission process — and a maintainer who preferred to step down because this way they have to do more, not less. Does such a decision make sense? In their case sure does!
Another point made in the thread is that without due supervision LLMs produce poor code — that's a fact, they do require babysitting. The review process is LLM-based and LLMs favour LLM-generated code — this would lead to developers relying on LLM coding tools more and more, which could lead to less supervision and eventually to degrading coding standards, turning well-maintained code bases into unmanageable mess. Are such concerns ungrounded? Does not seem so, at least you can't say they are obviously wrong.
And neither of the points are about "purity tests" and being able to tell machine-generated code from human-written, in other words you are debating opinions not even present in this thread.
