I believe there’s a small minority of LLM users who will show up to any comment thread and scream bloody murder if you post any kind of policy limiting LLM use. They seem to feel like it’s a personal attack and must justify their use of LLMs… for absolutely no reason. It’s wild.

Yep, same for those LLM creators who get all pissy when you provide (constructive) criticism about what they've outputted (or ask reasonable questions like if the person is doing actual tests) and they get all offended and call you ungrateful. This happened to me with the author of a Godot GDExtension: I'm (pretty sure) the dev was vibe-coding it, so after like 4-5 releases of it not loading in the editor at all due to what I would consider basic mistakes, I bluntly asked them if they were actually testing their code and got told I was ungrateful and being rude and disrespectful and all that even though what I was asking was very reasonable (after all, the dev had repeatedly released versions that wouldn't even load in the editor).

Likely they use LLMs so much they have made it part of their identity.

It's like a gun enthusiast throwing a fit because you don't want them to bring their gun into your house. "I get that you find it useful to have a gun at your house, and I understand that we are never going to revert back to the days when guns didn't exist, but we don't allow them in this house."

(and not, I'm not slyly trying to say LLMs are like guns, yeesh)

It feels like we're witness to the possible appearance of a new archetype: a whole new kind of capital-P-Person! A hitherto-unnoticed plane in personality space is slowly becoming discernible.

(Time will tell. It's possible this will turn out to be just one of the same old People that you've already met, with just some minor tweaks to the specific details...)

This lobsters comment on the topic intrigued me: https://lobste.rs/s/omq8rt/vibecoding_gets_emacs_patch_rejec...

Last time I interacted with people who push these "policies", I saw my projects be dismissed as slop because LLMs had touched them, was called a "slop fetishist" in public and was told to leave in no uncertain terms.

You bet it's a personal attack.
