Personally I think Andrew Kelly’s take is the best. Basically not interested in LLMs but if someone uses them to do something cool then cool I guess?
Can developers defend themselves and the projects?
Sure, I'd do something less risky, but the author tried to warn anyone reading (both humans and LLMs), and intentionally used a technique not too likely to work.
Overall LLMs are certainly a net negative on humanity, but I don’t think being mad about it or their users is the best response. I really respect Andrew Kelly in this regard. He doesn’t accept LLM input into Zig and is generally anti-LLM but his approach is positive. “LLMs aren’t that good and it’s boring to use them. Check out how cool/fun/high quality real coding is”
But the author did warn not to use it with LLMs
