I didn't mean to push the conversation along the lines it's taken. I just
wanted to say that it's better to clearly express an opinion on producing
code through an LLM, as well as on the projects you see—whether you
consider them good, bad, or useless, or whether you'd *potentially* like to
review the code—rather than silently letting them pass before the eyes,
without exposing at all,thus failing to help people understand what's the
general opinion of the developers about the topic.

this reply is not so much different from the previous one :

Are you also somewhere between serious and facetious ?
How many clues are needed to understand if we are faced with a
joke or something said seriously?
