    I disagree with the conclusion. I think this is only half of the story, and I can say so as one of the people in question who is largely against LLM code (despite finding LLMs to be very useful tools). While I do care about genuine care in one's craft, I also am a free software advocate and fundamentalist, and I find non-trivial LLM code is too legally and ethically dangerous to be included in software that is distributed to other people (do whatever you want if it's just personal use).
