   Hobby groups projects like this are less fun for a lot of people who used to enjoy interacting with smart people. It's definitely become a game of just spam claude for answers with zero understanding or care for how anything actually works. That's fine to get things done and fine for a lot of side projects, but it definitely ruins the joy that people have in understanding systems and working with intellectuals.

      Projects like this probably need a dedicated noob-fork where 'anything goes', so the noobs feel like they're contributing but where their blast radius is contained.

      And once in a blue moon something good comes out of it back to the real project.

         With how verbose LLMs are and how much code churn they generate, it will be very difficult to extract anything and apply it back upstream

            The fence around the sandbox is the important part.

            Cherrypicking the occasional winner is just a side benefit.
