I am sure there are many others like you and they are very capable potential contributors. We do have opposing views in the community but I do not think anyone should feel discouraged to contribute because of those who hold opposing views, it will be detrimental to the project, I am sure they will find enough supporters. The real problem starts only if an otherwise good patch is rejected or totally neglected purely on the basis of LLM use.

To add my personal point of view on this, it is only the advent of
LLMs that has made me think I could possibly become a contributor to
GHC. I wouldn't have the stamina to remain engaged otherwise. A
policy that discourages LLM use, in effect if not in word, makes it
less likely I will ever contribute to GHC. (The same goes for most
projects actually.)
