Just because you don't know how to do it doesn't mean they don't. As I said, the same people have been doing this for years, long before LLMs. They need to re-sync with upstream periodically so that's why you see announcements of new stuff.
Also, people who have been doing something for years are exactly the people who benefit the most from having pointless toil removed from the workflows.
Attitudes like yours are exactly why we won't know what level of AI assistance is used. People won't admit it because there is a lot of downside to doing so - especially in communities like this.
It is just an obvious fact that when there are hostile swarms of people like you, that it is prudent to not disclose when you used an llm to unblock yourself.
I was being very neutral about this obvious fact and you became irrationally hostile.
I fully believe the BSD people didn't use it - I just think in general you wouldn't know which projects are doing it and which aren't.
In fact, if you dig into these projects, they have llm disclosures for misc debugging and other things.
On the other hand my life experience is often that people who accuse others of doing activities in secret, and being dishonest about it, that is often, but I will give you not always, indicative of where their own head is at.
