I think the middle ground "maybe LLMs" choice was quietly, secretly rooted in a hidden contempt for other people's work, particularly anyone "not technical". No LLMs for code, we'd never use LLMs for something that important obviously, but for _documentation_ sure. For _graphics_, for _art_, obviously. Those things aren't _code_, you see, they're not _important_.

But, it turns out they are important. And they make it clear who and what you're willing to sacrifice, so you can feel important.

@emma @be Indeed I was afraid of this to happen when the GR got discussed. There were many people whom I highly respect (and still highly respect) who were convinced that there were indeed roughly 3 choices: "no LLMs", "maybe LLMs" and "always LLMs". Unfortunately, those who said that the "maybe LLMs" choice was the same as the "always LLM" choice seem to be receiving evidence that they might've been right all along and in fact there were only 2 choices... @cwebber
