How does this not lead to a situation where no honest person can use any AI in their submissions? Surely pull requests that acknowledge AI tooling will be given significantly less attention, on the grounds that no one wants to read work that they know is written by AI.

Good point. That's the point exactly. Don't use AI for writing your patch. At all.

Why are you surprised? Do companies want to hire "honest" people whose CVs were written by some LLM?

Yes, some companies do want to hire such people, the justification given is something along the lines of "we need devs who are using the latest tools/up to date on the latest trends! They will help bring in those techniques and make all of our current devs more productive!". This isn't a bad set of motivations or assumptions IMO.

Setting aside what companies _want_, they almost certainly are already hiring devs with llm-edited CVs, whether they want it or not. Such CVs/resumes are more likely to make it through HR filters.

I don't know if future generations will agree with this sentiment, in which case we lock ourselves out of future talent (i.e. those that use AI to assist, not to completely generate). The same arguments were made about Photoshop once upon a time.

Unfortunately yes, they very much seem to. Since many are using LLMs to assess CVs, those which use LLMs to help write their CV have a measured advantage.
