• For me, if a PR looks good, and I can reach out to the contributor and they can competently discuss their work, then its fine with me if they used AI to code it.

  I think a sensible policy would be: use whatever tools you like to contribute, but own the contribution. Obvious slop code is rejected.

• I agree, human vetting from experience is essential. But with agenetic, tool calling LLMs, you can (and should IMO) require multiple solutions be explored and presented with the tradeoffs for each option clearly outlined, and wait for you guidance to proceed with the advisee approach.

  LLM can definitely be used to churn out garbage code based on the averaging of everything, but can also be a super useful tool, if used effectively, to quickly see the most common ways a problem is solved, and then design and iterate a solution that works for your project.

  Similar to how I used to use SO, but with reasoned reviews of all the posted solutions and the ability to prototype what might work best for what I need.
