Here's what to do: Show me a video of LLM fixing four filed issues in the KiCad codebase.

If you do that, I'll swallow my AI skepticism.

I would love to have an LLM that I can turn loose on an unfamiliar codebase that I can ask questions of. I would love to have an LLM that will fill in my Vulkan boilerplate. etc.

I use emacs and Mercurial. You can demonstrate magic to me and I can be convinced even if it's not mainstream.

Rewriting Javascript slop to StackOverflow standards is not convincing me.

Get to it.

(The OAuth stuff posted earlier certainly moved my needle, but the fact that they needed a gaggle of reviewers as well as hand holding when the LLM got stuck mutes the impact significantly.)
