Re: Policy on use of LLM tools and bug fixes
A participant apologizes for a broken thread and expresses concern about the contentiousness of the discussion regarding LLM use in GCC. They emphasize the potential issues with fully automated AI contributions without human oversight. The author suggests that others might be missing important aspects of this issue.
