Anti-LLM Sentiment Considered Harmful

FPtje:

Looking at the policy itself, it seems like they tried to put a lot of nuance in. It is neither a full ban not a full toleration of LLM use.

Solicited, non-critical, high-quality, well-tested, and well-reviewed code changes that are originally created by an LLM are allowed, with disclosure.

1. “Solicited” means that a reviewer has communicated ahead of time that they are willing to review an LLM-created PR.
   • New contributors cannot use an LLM unless they first talk with a reviewer. This must be the same reviewer who will be assigned to the PR.

This sounds pretty much like a soft ban.

Someone from the team can essentially say “here’s this problem I don’t wanna bother with, but am willing to accept an LLM PR if it’s good enough”. It requires prior consent (or advertisement, so to speak).
