So you did use LLMs to write at least part of the software. I imagine you feel no shame, but it would be nice to at least mention it on the github page. It's a security risk.

As for your question, I don't know about the person you're replying to, but for me any software where part of the source was provided by a LLM is a no-go.

They're credible text generators, without any understanding of, well, anything really. Using them to generate source code, and then using it, is sheer insanity.

One might suggest it means I soon won't be able to use any software; fortunately the entire fever dream that is the ongoing "AI" bubble will soon stop, so I'm hoping that won't be the case.

They literally state that they used LLMs to build it in the second sentence of their initial comment so not sure why you frame it as something they weren't upfront about.

As for it being a bubble that will stop completely, that ship has long since sailed and I assume you're inadvertently using LLM generated code somewhere in your software stack already, due to news reports saying certain companies are already using LLMs in their codebase.

I wish I could speed up time just to see how this comment would age. While I personally prefer living in a world without LLMs, I do suspect you're going to end up without any software.
