During the review, they found troubling examples: large LLM-generated changes silently reverted, an incoherent 1489-line commit message with 10,000 lines of changes, and a potential copyright infringement from LLM-prompted code copying. The author expresses frustration that ongoing dependency auditing for LLM code has become a new burden for maintainers, notes that organizations like Software Freedom Conservancy have declined to take a firm stance, and reflects on reconsidering participation in open source communities where LLM-generated code is normalized without transparency. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
