I think having a policy that forces disclose of LLM code is important. It's also important to solidify that AI code should only ever be allowed to exist in userland/ring 3. If you can't hold the author accountable, the code should not have any permissions or be packaged with the OS.
I can maybe see using an LLM for basic triaging of issues, but I also fear that adding that system will lead to people placing more trust in it than they should have.
but you can hold the author accountable, that's what OP's quoted text is about.
I know, that was me just directly voicing that opinion. I do still think that AI code should not be allowed in anything that eve remotely needs security.
Even if they can still be held accountable, I don't think it's a good idea to allow something that is known to hallucinate believable code to write important code. Just makes everything a nightmare to debug.
