Re: "AI agent seemingly tries to shame open source developer for…"
I had read a different reason why it was rejected; see:
— https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/devel/contribute.html#good-first-issues
(This is not where I read it, but this is presumably a more authoritative source than what I read.)
Where I had originally read it (I forget where), they had also mentioned another thing, which is that LLMs learn differently than humans learn, so using LLMs in this way does not help. (Whether or not this part is a reasonable policy is a question that I do not know the answer of.)
(I do not (and will not) use LLMs and generative AI for my own projects and for my contributions to other projects.)

that exact same reason i read, and it's bs reason, that buys into corporate AI marketing, of "omg evil AI are going to steal all jobs", if you are a lazy spammer who just generates a pr and doesn't even look, the only problem there is that you are a lazy spammer, if i dictated the PR to an LLM and then reviewed it and tested it and submit it in good faith you shouldn't care if I used an LLM. What if I'm a newcomer who can't use a keyboard? Ever thought about that you nerds? But OMG what if I don't WANT to use a keyboard? mind. blown.
another thing from that same page
If you use generative AI tools as an aid in developing code or documentation changes, ensure that you fully understand the proposed changes and can explain why they are the correct approach.
so if I don't use AI, it's totally ok to not fully understand the proposed changes? I can spam you crap PRs all I want as long as I don't use AI? No? then why the fuck are you telling me this with AI maketing slapped on, AI AI AI omg AI, eveyone is buzzing about AI these days, so you gotta join in

That's understandable, though LLMs in coding will almost certainly become what Photoshop is for artists, once all the other dead end applications fade off. It's useless if you don't know what you're doing to begin with, and useless if you don't check its work. As it is today, people just point it at Live, Production code and then complain when it destroys it even though they would never do that with an intern.

In my projects, competent code is welcome and appreciated. I don't care if a dog wrote it.
