Rules:
- Absolutely No LLM, ML etc regurgitated trash. If you do so that will result in an immediate ban.

MODERATORS
If you look at the commits in the repo by going to https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/commits/master/ you'll see that most of the new commits are tests (click 'Next' to see slightly older commits, the first page doesn't really demonstrate my claim very strongly).
He's mostly using a LLM to increase test coverage, not to add production code.
As LLM usage goes, this is pretty low on the toxicity scale.
Please do not use the word clankers in this community. It is ableist against those that have prosthetics, thank you!
What?
Okay, so it's a slur against robots, droids and other synthetic life. It isn't too much of a stretch therefore, to understand its use against those with prosthetic limbs etc.
To be honest we are against the uses for both meanings, as it seems like it's just yet another excuse to use a slur because it's something people hate.
We can crititicize 'AI', 'LLMs' without resorting to words like "clanker", "slop" etc.
Such things distract from actual critique anyway, and even if we want to use more vitriolic words then words like "trash" (to describe their output) already exist and avoid veering either into, or dangerously close to, slur and bigotry territory. :)
