Agreed. Imo, it is important to distinguish which parts of “everything” carry the weight of the concern. By doing that - we may be able to remove “LLM” from that equation entirely.

The direct problem isn’t that people are using LLMs for everything - it’s that some people can’t be bothered to provide reasonable diligence. Phrasing that concern by blaming LLMs implies that these were perfectly diligent human workers before LLMs came along. Do we really believe that to be the case?

Do you think they were submitting as many PRs, or do you think maybe the LLMs are enabling them to vastly over submit to these projects, meaning that in this case, LLMs are the actual, whole problem?

I find it odd how people will refuse to think about context when defending their toys.
