Anti-LLM Sentiment Considered Harmful

I asked Gemini Pro about it and it told me you’re wrong. But also I really like your idea so I’m thinking of petitioning for you being removed from maintainership of haskell/time in favour of an LLM that will never push back against any suggestion. I’d ask your opinion about it but Gemini already validated mine so I guess this is goodbye?


Edit: Nope nevermind, I asked it again and it told me that the human element is crucial:

The short answer is no. Replacing a human maintainer—like Ashley Yakeley for a core ecosystem library like haskell/time—with an LLM is neither practical nor advisable given the current realities of software engineering and open-source governance.

Maybe if I asked it a third time I’ll get another answer, who knows.
