Here's a SFC post that argues similarly: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2026/nov/05/foss-in-the-age-of-llm-gen-ai-assisted-reverse-eng/
My ubuntu touch phone that I use as my primary phone has become significantly more usable in the last 6 months because a few people filled a few of the most glaring missing funcitonality, with LLM assistance. (Could this have been done without? Yes, sure. But there are still too many todos, and pretty much everyone who invested time burned out. 🤷♀️)
