Y'all are just prejudice. Making up what ifs and whatanoutism. If you think you can do better then fork it. But you can't, and won't.
I don't think pointing out problematic aspects of LLM use is whataboutism, given that the maintainer's LLM use is the topic of conversation. A whataboutism would be "But what about Microsoft? They use GenAI too!" because that has nothing to do with this specific developer using it.
This is simply about the reasons I disapprove of using GenAI in general and relying on LLMs for coding in particular.
There are a lot of things I can't do myself. I don't see how that should mean I can't criticise the way they are done.
It also doesn't mean people have to stop using it entirely. Approval is not a binary. This isn't a company we're paying money to, it's not an atrocity, and it's not particularly large in scale (which is why making a witch-hunt out of it is dumb too).
