We’ll pass along the feedback.

They got you huh

also to band together with other affected professions and try to get all genai banned for all purposes

There is a policy against LLM generated code for shell extensions, but I guess TWIG needs one too now. However, from my own projects, I can report that people will knowingly ignore anti AI policies.

Yeah that had to be LLM generated

why should I assume that the rest of the update is lovingly hand-crafted prose, when it ends with an obvious chatbot signature that Miklós Zsitva didn’t even bother to remove?

I think there are much better signs to look out for
