Just my personal data point here: the responses to this thread gave me
nausea.
If people want to act as meat proxy for their glorified Markov chains, they
should at least be extremely careful about the output, and avoid the
Vogon-speak I've seen here.
The Rust project has an **EXCELLENT** policy on LLM usage:

The TLDR is: humans shall not suffer Vogon-speak generated by a machine.
