I switched teams at $DAYJOB a few months ago, into a project which is developed open-source mainly by our company and with heavy use of LLMs.
And at some point, one of our devs told me that they explicitly don’t have an AGENTS.md file in the repo (which would contain instructions to make the LLMs generate better results), because they don’t want LLM-generated contributions.
Why? Because we would need to review that slop.
I feel like this isn’t talked about enough in these discussions. It’s faster to generate a contribution, but the end result is often considerably worse and needs a much more thorough review.
The workload for maintainers increases. And maintainers were the bottleneck even before LLMs.
So, I just don’t think you generally want to allow generated contributions, not without LLMs making a massive leap still.
At best, I would allow it for select people, like the maintainers themselves or past contributors where you know they will ensure a base level of quality and have an understanding of the architecture and the project goals.
