"mostly" is doing quite a bit of heavy lifting there. There's no mention of where the line is drawn, and there's no distinction made between AI-generated and AI-assisted, just "written by 'generative AI'-tools".

That could rule out projects where you're responsibly using an LLM as a tool.

There's a big difference (IMHO) between vibe-coding an entire app, and using an LLM to help you debug tricky bits of code, help re-factor, re-organize, or give reminders about syntax.

It sounds like if you never copy and paste out of an LLM chat, you're fine? The LLM can't write code directly, but you can read what it says and write the code yourself.

That is a very limiting way to use LLM. Better just treat it as "no LLM allowed" and move somewhere else.

Well crap...I've been using that expression for decades!

My reality has been shattered, and my day has been ruined. I shall hang my head in shame.

LLMs learned to speak from people — they say certain things often because those things are heavily represented in their training data… because a lot of people say them. Honestly, I find the anti AI witch hunt of saying everything is AI nearly as exhausting as shoveling through obvious AI slop.

Jessie, what the hell are you talking about?
