I'll spare you my rambling thoughts. If someone wants to fork HarfBuzz 12.3.2, go ahead, that's before AI "slop". I let @khaled, the HarfBuzz maintainer, decide whether AI-assisted code is allowed in the upstream HarfBuzz or not.

As for code quality, I'm ultimately the only one responsible for code that I push out.

Finally, if this technology is good for Linus, Guido, and Knuth, among others, I'm not gonna ignore it and let my projects and skills become irrelevant and obsolete.

I respectfully ask that you refrain from your urge to leave a 🤮 or equivalent in the comments. Thanks.
