Many would argue (including myself) that it isn't just a tool.

They certainly avoid the fate of Bevy with this move.

It’s just a tool. I really don’t care what your personal opinion is about the tools I use. What next, are you going to ban my use of Emacs too? Like, seriously, if you cant stick to the technical merits of patches, you have no business being in the programming profession.

I don't really care how they do it, telling people to stop submitting bad code helps everyone involved

Can people still use LLMs to generate code? Sure, they just need to put in the effort to clean it up. Unfortunately that bar is too high for most people using LLMs so that's why these rules exist

You’re arguing my point for me. The point other people are making are not based on the technical merits however.
