I’m a full time professional developer and I have been banned from /r/vibecoding for pointing out that it doesn’t work, so hopefully I have a little credibility here. The keepassxc team’s take here is very reasonable and not that far from my own.
LLMs do make decent first-pass code reviewers, and they can handle boilerplate code and simple changes given sufficient instruction and provided you review the results. They are trash at anything more complicated than that.
I feel the devs should just ask the chatbot themselves before submitting if they feel it helps, automating the procedure invites a slippery slope in an environment were doing it the wrong way is being pushed extremely strongly and executives’ careers are made on 'I was the one who led AI adoption in company x (but left before any long term issues became apparent)’
Plus the fact that it’s always weirdos like the hating AI is xenophobia person who are willing to go to bat for AI doesn’t inspire much confidence.
