In corporate, you are _forced_ to trust your coworker somehow and swallow it. Specially higher-ups.

In free software though, these kinds of nonsense suggestions always happened, way before AI. Just look at any project mailing list.

It is expected that any new suggestion will encounter some resistance, the new contributor itself should be aware of that. For serious projects specifically, the levels of skepticism are usually way higher than corporations, and that's healthy and desirable.
