You are right, but people want to know if you used LLMs or not because they might not want to use a project with LLM generated code.
Ethics vary from person to person. We are in a programming community, so the focus is on code and not other subjects.
I understand the feeling and I do not blame people for using LLM but companies and corporations for pushing LLM down our throats. It could have been a nice tool, but now its effects are a net negative for the planet in the hope of capturing the market. But this isn't the place to discuss that.
It doesn't mean that using a LLM doesn't have an impact because other factors have bigger impact. Every small decision we make has an impact in the long run, but this isn't the community to discuss that.
I wasn't the original OP you were responding to, but I felt compelled to give you a reason why people want to know about if a LLM is used or not because this is a hot topic and and I subject I feel strongly about.
I think that in the current context, presenting a project to the public like that will inevitably bring the question about LLM uses.
You have been open and concise about how Claude was used and from that point on, how people react to it is not in your control.
I appreciate that you responded thoroughly to my reply, even though it wasn't needed.
you're aware you're talking to a parrot?
I think it's important that people see these conversations. Not everyone is aware of the impact of LLMs and if it changes the mind of at least a person, this is not a wasted effort.
I don't feel like OP is a robot with how its response are written, but we never know.
What a waste of time. They were probably pasting your comment into an LLM to figure out how to respond.
