> The rest of us just build tons of cool stuff for personal use or for $JOB. Releasing stuff to the public is, in general, a massive amount of extra work for very little benefit. There are loads of FOSS maintainers trapped spending as much time managing their communities as they do their actual projects and many of us just don't have time for that.

I wouldn't worry about this.

There are many examples of people sharing a project they've used LLMs to help write, and the result was not a huge amount of attention & expectation of burden.

Perhaps "I don't share it because I'm worried people will love it too much" even suggests the opposite: you can concretely demonstrate the kinds of things you've been able to build using LLMs.

Lack of specificity & concrete examples frequently mean all that's left for discussion is emotion for hype and anti-hype, though.

In this thread, the discussion was:

  pro: use LLMs or get left behind

  conserve: okay, I'll start using LLMs when they're good

  pro: no no they won't be that good, it takes effort to get to use them

  conserve: do you have any examples?

  pro: why should we have to share examples?

I like LLMs. But making big claims while being reticent about concrete claims and demonstrations is irksome.
