If you’re going to lie and say there was no LLM involved, what else are you going to lie about? Copying code from another codebase with incompatible license terms, perhaps?

I would say people should be wary of any contributions whatsoever from a filthy fucking liar.

Nothing? Everything? Does it fucking matter? Assigning trust across a boundary like this is stupid, and that’s my point.

Oh, would you just accept my blatantly, verbatim copied-from-another-codebase-and-relicensed PR just because I said “I solemnly swear this is not blatantly, verbatim copied from another codebase and relicensed”?

That’s on you for stupidly assigning any trust to the author of the change. It’s the internet: nobody knows you’re a dog.

    At that point you've proven intention, meaning you'll get the chance to argue your viewpoint in front of a judge.
