There are loads of FOSS maintainers trapped spending as much time managing their communities as they do their actual projects and many of us just don't have time for that.

I wouldn't worry about this.

There are many examples of people sharing a project they've used LLMs to help write, and the result was not a huge amount of attention & expectation of burden.

Perhaps "I don't share it because I'm worried people will love it too much" even suggests the opposite: you can concretely demonstrate the kinds of things you've been able to build using LLMs.

Lack of specificity & concrete examples frequently mean all that's left for discussion is emotion for hype and anti-hype, though.

In this thread, the discussion was:

  pro: use LLMs or get left behind

  conserve: okay, I'll start using LLMs when they're good

  pro: no no they won't be that good, it takes effort to get to use them

  conserve: do you have any examples?

  pro: why should we have to share examples?

I like LLMs. But making big claims while being reticent about concrete claims and demonstrations is irksome.

I’m waiting to see a huge burst of high quality open source code, which should be happening, right?
