The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for coding assistance is not inherently problematic, provided developers manually review any generated code. Criticisms have arisen regarding open-source projects utilizing LLMs, such as the XMPP client Fluux and Coturn software. However, these concerns are mitigated when experienced developers are involved, ensuring professional oversight. Beyond potential ecological impacts from major AI companies, which can be reduced by users opting for smaller, local models, the author questions what other significant drawbacks exist. AI
