Personally I think you skipped an important part of that sentence. What I said was “available to us”. As an open source maintainer, I cannot stop people from using LLMs. So I have a vested interested in improving their usage of it.

Before the introduction of usage rules, I would get questions and issues daily about LLM hallucinations. Now, this happens far less often. I’ll update the introduction today to make it more clear. My point is not that we must use LLMs, but that they are now in use by many. OSS maintainers know that more than anyone

I’m comfortable with the framing. AI tools are a part of the industry. I can’t say that they are a net good. But pretending that they don’t exist, or deciding not to be exposed to them just isn’t an option at this point, at least for a large portion of software engineers. “Wether we like it or not” is in fact exactly the point I’m trying to make.

I don’t know if they exist yet
