The user argues that LLM-based AI coding agents have no place in generating production code due to skill atrophy, artificially low cost, prompt injections, and copyright/licensing issues. They believe it's best to let humans write most or all of the code to avoid these problems and potential catastrophic consequences.
OpenBSD rejected a patch for the ext4 filesystem generated by a large language model due to copyright concerns and the unclear ownership of the generated code. The discussion highlights the need for a clear understanding of copyright law regarding AI-generated code and the potential risks of using such code in open-source projects.
