This “short cut” language suggests that the quality of the submission is going to be objectively worse by way of its provenance.
Yet, can one reliably distinguish working and tested code generated by a person vs a machine? We’re well past passing Turing tests at this point.
IMO when people declare that LLMs "pass" at a particular skill, it's a sign that they don't have the taste or experience to judge that skill themselves. Or - when it's CEOs - they have an interest in devaluing it.
So yes if you're trying to fool an experienced open source maintainer with unrefined LLM-generated code, good luck (especially one who's said he doesn't want that).
Would you like to take the Pepsi challenge? Happy to put random code snippets in front of you and see whether you can accurately determine whether it was written by a human or an LLM.
