The point you are ignoring or missing is that the homebrew maintainers have earned the trust to use AI contributions and have not simply whacked out a 100% vibe coded app in a week.

That's another made up point not coming from the source. But also, that's almost literally what they did. Ok, it wasn't in a week but a few months and the % is not 100%, but still more than 50% But then this project's first release was in Feb, so it's actually been longer in development than the brew UI app! It's not a 1-week app! Stop making hypothetical stuff up, look at real apps

This isn't just a replacement for the homebrew UI, it's for the CLI too, so comparison invalid. I see the dev behind it has a whole 4 years of github experience - only the most recent 2 of which with anything significant (presumably model written), how reassuring.

The comment you originally replied addresses the "invalid" comparison, so circle back there. And you have the same issue here - how does "years of github experience" connects to concerts about LLM output in security-critical package managers?

Trust over speed. That’s all that’s being said here.
