Of course I know that some people can just becoming psychotic out of nowhere. But why would I assume it?

Yes, according to the git diff and the comment here https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/issues/929#issuecommen....
A change in the sys calls that are used. That's pretty sensitive in general I think; I can see if it were introduced by an LLM why people would be upset if they experienced data loss from it.

Do you think LLM use is evidence of psychosis? I think it's a widespread problem but probably not psychosis.
According to the thread rsync broke for incremental backups and increases the cpu load heavily. The whole thread only started because people noticed regressions and were wondering what happened.
Since I quite a few users are using distros that won't update for a while it gets even better: this trend may continue and as soon as the update actually happens we'll be so far down the road that it will be too late to take a step back and reconsider due to the delayed feedback. This is pretty much about the few people _already_ having issues with it.
That being said, if the creator wants to use AI to work on the project they are free to do so. I just hope nothing of value is lost because of it.
P.S.: If you stop writing by hand and start delegating - to AI or other people - something has changed. There shouldn't be any discussion about it. Delegation is different than writing it yourself.
