"Critical open source software" should not, and maybe cannot, be maintained with its development requiring huge commercial-corporate infrastructure in the form of OpenAI's LLMs.

It should be maintained by humans, relying on widely available hardware and software, requiring little of both.

Not saying that using LLMs as a convenience is forbidden or anything, but the direction is problematic.

(Also, this sounds like a cheap alternative to actually funding FOSS work.)
