I like to document any possible LLM association mostly for
self-reflection. I'm still adapting and not fully comfortable
with every detail so this gives a chance to look back and
learn how to do things better in the future.

So I'm neither supporter or desupporter of LLMs but more
like representing the "I don't know what to think about this"
camp :-)

Somewhat fuzzy opinion I have that more guards and checks
should be set to the patch submission process to address
"proxy contributors". At high rate such fixes are right
bug but wrong fix type of situations where author is
really not an author but instead a reporter. This is both
time consuming and unfair for legit contributors.
