As someone who was a part of the aforementioned security team I'm not sure I'd be interested in reviewing such volume of machine generated code, expecting trap at every corner. The implicit assumption that I observed at many OSS projects I've been involved with is that first time contributions are rarely accepted if they are too large in volume, and "core contributor" designation exists to signal "I put effort into this code, stand by it, and respect everyone's time in reviewing it". The PR in the post violates this social contract.

For free, you can decide to do what you want, if it's your job, it's a bit different and you may have to do so, especially considering Collina, is one of the largest contributors of the project and member of the technical committee.

Oh I'd use an llm to generate large amounts of feedback and request changes!

Imagine if every profession reasoned liked that when doing something they don't enjoy.

What a wonderful world we would have, or possibly at least better than the current shit show :)
Imagine fighting fire with fire. You don't have to take shit lying down.

We'd have a lot less enshittification all around, I suspect.

Sure thing, your nurse ain't gonna clean your mom, in the restaurant the chef ain't gonna prepare a dish he doesn't like, your accountant ain't gonna file your taxes if you've given him data he doesn't like, etc.
Your paid to do a job, you're either professional or you aren't.

I’d probably leave the hospital if I heard the doctor filed an LLM generated diagnosis for the nurse to validate

So you don't do your job and submit a PR you didn't even read, and I'm supposed to waste my time that I have to the explain at my next performance review? I didn't sign up to read slop, thanks! If my boss wants me to spend 10x time time on this kind of shit, he has to pick something else that I no longer have to do. My time is not elastic. It can't expand to fit your slop.
You'd just have to pay more to convince people to do the jobs they hate.
It does mean that nurses might end up getting paid more than software engineers, but why is that a bad thing?
