I think the point that some people who are more negative on keeping the tag in were trying to make is not that we expect everyone to follow the rules, but that having rules with no consequences are bad rules in general. And this is illustrated by your example. But I see there is quite a bit of consensus on the general needs: - it's more relevant to know how an LLM was used than that it was used (and the tag is just a quick indication of this) - advertising for particular corporations does not really serve any purpose to the community, so just say "LLM" - the tags may be used to prevent arguing - the requirement to be open about LLM use (whether by tags or whatever) makes it easier for maintainers (if they feel the need) to de-prioritize patches by someone unwilling to abide by these rules whenever the maintainer perceives or suspects prior undeclared LLM use. This prevents an asymmetrical situation of LLM slop being produced much faster that what can be reviewed.
