The rise of LLMs as a useful development tool over the last year or so has been significant. The power and flexibility of tools like Claude Code and ChatGPT have given a lot of functionality both to experienced developers and new developers alike. But there are trade-offs.

    Rejecting AI output comments but accepting PRs, seems weird to me. Sometimes I want to say something and then feed it through an LLM to take off any aggression or confrontation.

      They say that, in relation to the text of a PR, commit, forum post, or similar, “the output must be your own words, explanation, description, etc., not a verbatim dump of an LLM’s output”. If you must, it sounds like you could still use an LLM to identify any aggression or confrontation in your text, but then fix it yourself. The other advantage of that approach is that you’ll become more aware of your communication patterns, and how to remedy harmful ones.

        And what about the people who use AI to help fix their English so that they’re clear in what they’re trying to say because English is their second or third language?

          From the general guidelines section of the post:

          “An exception will be made for LLM-assisted translations if you are having trouble accurately conveying your intent in English. Please explicitly note this (“I have translated this from MyLanguage with an LLM”) and, if possible, post in your original language as well.”
