I'm in a #github internal group for high-profile FOSS projects (due to @leaflet having a few kilo-stars), and the second most-wanted feature is "plz allow us to disable copilot reviews", with the most-wanted feature being "plz allow us to block issues/PRs made with copilot".

Meanwhile, there's a grand total of zero requests for "plz put copilot in more stuff".

This should be significative of the attitude of veteran coders towards #LLM creep.

@IvanSanchez @leaflet My team likes Code Rabbit reviews and I’ve enabled it on some OSS repos by choice. Usually decent feedback without too much junk.

For places where co-workers give too many LGTM reviews, this may be a step up.

@markstos @IvanSanchez @leaflet "choice" is the operative word here

@aburka @markstos Abso-fucking-lutely. The ask is not "disable LLMs everywhere", it's a way more polite "allow me to decide about getting LLMs in my workflow".
(I'm well aware that github belongs to MS and we don't have control over it, I have since diversified repos over gitlab and gitea, and for the record LLMs are a copyright/copyleft nightmare that we somehow are choosing to ignore like the proverbial elephant in the room).
