I like the pattern of including each prompt used to make a given PR, yes, I know that LLM's aren't deterministic, but it also gives context of the steps required to get to the end state.

Doesn't work. People will include fake prompts, the real ones are way too personal. You can learn a lot from how people use these tools.

That's like saying "sorry, source code is too personal. In my 'open' project you get only binaries".

... and then I think about all the weights only "open" AI projects and walk off in disgust.

Keep in mind that in industries where people code but aren't really programmers this literally does happen, sometimes very "big" people will be basically scared to share their code because it won't be very good.

But anyway what I mean is that code is us speaking like a computer, LLMs are the other way around, you can see a lot from how someone interacts with the machine.

not just non-programmers. It's a common problem with jr programmers and good programmer internships (for example) make it a point of forcing the interns to expose themselves ASAP to get over it.

I think if everyone goes into it knowing that it'll be part of what they publish it would be less of an issue.

I mean, unless you're all a bunch of freaks who have instructed your LLM to cosplay as Slave Leia and can't work otherwise, in which case your issues are beyond my pay grade. :P
