    I'm against LLM usage in conversation, e.g. when discussing issues in open-source. It's like half-hearing a conversation, I'm missing the context that the other person has with their robot. Second, the person has usually at best half-understood the issue.

    Provided the code does the job, it seems immaterial whether it was hand-written or LLM generated, provided it does the job and isn't straight-up plagiarism. The latter is admittedly a hard thing to judge.
