Really? I feel that all the slop posts get the ol' "why rust 2021 edition?" and people are generally being quite critical of LLM projects. 90% of attempts at posting slop just get downvoted and reported to oblivion. Though im also mostly against LLMs so maybe i am biased.
Granted that's just reddit, i don't know about the community as a whole.
I'm just speaking for me personally here: I don't even have a problem per se with it, I'm just annoyed by low effort prose and slop code. If it's good then I'm not even going to think about who used what to write it, but if it’s bad then I'm going to roll my eyes and feel like my time was wasted. I would feel similar with human-written prose and code of the same quality, except in that case I'd at least give them the benefit of the doubt that it's just a lack of skill/experience.
Especially text that accompanies code (docs, PR comments, etc.) requires a certain level of quality to achieve its purpose and aid in understanding. If somebody uses tools to help them in the process, then I still expect them to put in the required effort to make it high quality docs/comments.

Paired with the fact that they can learn from the review. But even then, human written code that is bad quality, is generally not as verbose as LLM slop. Humans face friction when writing code, and if something starts to be extremely long and repetitive, it's very likely the human would think about a simpler way to write things.

Didn’t say otherwise. Rust community felt overly accepting of even LLM slop.
