From https://kristoff.it/blog/contributor-poker-and-ai/:

"Unfortunately the reality of LLM-based contributions has been mostly negative for us, from an increase in background noise due to worthless drive-by PRs full of hallucinations (that wouldn’t even compile, let alone pass CI), to insane 10 thousand line long first time PRs. In-between we also received plenty of PRs that looked fine on the surface, some of which explicitly claimed to not have made use of LLMs, but where follow-up discussions immediately made it clear that the author was sneakily consulting an LLM and regurgitating its mistake-filled replies to us."

Pretty much sums up the LLM fanbase.

Fake it ‘till you make it. Seems like LLM’s have caught-on to that too.

You can curb an LLM into doing what you want. Unfortunately people don't have the patience or the skill.
