    I have a similar sentiment unfortunately. I briefly thought about ways to force them to stop but all led to some sort of negative impact on privacy/freedom such as identify verification

  it is getting there, and not so slowly though. The remaining problem is that it's still just a tool. Telling a random dev "make zig faster in a one shot PR" isn't going to give good results either. In the past, OSS projects were self-selective because you needed to be able to make working code, and if you did, you probably also reasonably did the right things as you spent years learning this, and have some sort of reasoning behind your feature, need, etc. Today, even if the LLM was perfect and could reason well, it still does the bidding of the prompter - and you no longer have self-selection. Heck, it'll be difficult for zig devs to decide what's actually made by an LLM or a human anyway, I'm sure there's already LLM generated code in there - but at least these [human submiters] still need to be reasonably good at code. I wonder if we'll end up with "only human with trusted badge of honor" can commit, and/or "LLMs now reason well enough to tell you: 'no, f off, this feature, plan, idea is garbage I'm not generating it" hehe.
