[OSGeo-Discuss] Using AI in OSGeo projects - Notes from the Timisoara BoF

[Iván Sánchez Ortega]

Hey Jeroen,

I disagree with your point of view, because (from where I'm sitting) it seems 
biased. You say:

> If you code with AI or review PRs, we want you involved and I invite you to
> start the conversation [...]

Reading between the lines, it'd seem that people who do **not** use LLMs for 
coding or reviews are not equally invited. The anti-LLM and LLM-skeptical 
folks deserve the same voice as encouragement than the pro-LLM folks. I don't 
think that's currently the case.


> If we lose respect and stop being a welcoming community, the harm
> lasts longer than any single PR. *We are in this together.* AI-assisted
> coding is here to stay, and it also opens doors, [...]

You seem to be asking that the anti-LLM camp should show more respect towards 
the pro-LLM camp, and I have to ask for the opposite. When a maintainer says 
"no LLM PRs", the submitter should respect and welcome that. If we don't aim 
for that, I bet that people are going to feel disrespected and burn out.
