The main reason open source projects are pushing to formally adopt a policy around (allowing) llm use is that they’re already using it. If there was a unified front between the contributors and the community against llm use, how much code would have to be reverted and rewritten? Most likely a bunch. How long would that take? Most likely a while. Now perhaps they handle it quickly or truly didn’t have any llm work in their code base, how will they handle the flood of legitimate bug reports from llm testing? If you’ve ever worked in a trade where your role is split up in an assembly line you know that the person behind you getting access to a new tool that makes them faster necessitates you get a new tool that lets you keep up.
