The target of the issue title is pretty clearly the maintainer. They’re the one being told to stop using AI.
I guess this answers the question of whether you think maybe it’s ok to spit in the face of open source developers.

“I cut my finger with the kitchen knife”
“Maybe don’t hold it by the blade”
It’s something along the lines of sarcastic and deliberately unhelpful because “duh, of course don’t do that”.
Saying ~“maybe it’s not ok to do <thing> but <reasons they might do thing>” is nothing like your example and does imply it’s acceptable to the speaker to sometimes do that thing.
But we’re past that now because the person I was discussing this with has gone ahead and clarified that telling an open source maintainer to please stop fucking up isn’t an angry comment.
