I am sure there are many others like you and they are very capable
potential contributors. We do have opposing views in the community but I do
not think anyone should feel discouraged to contribute because of those who
hold opposing views, it will be detrimental to the project, I am sure they
will find enough supporters. The real problem starts only if an otherwise
good patch is rejected or totally neglected purely on the basis of LLM use.
