Every piece of evidence listed here needs to be defended when external maintainers, or even just external project fans, ask questions (and they *do* ask questions, regularly). We strive to have positive relationships with all external maintainers that come here or we will not have productive conversations. We will not start off on the right foot if the evidence is indefensible. Someone's writing or website design is not enough to list it unless you have a link to a commit that shows LLM assistance, LLM instructions, or a core maintainer saying they used LLMs to generate whatever text, image, code, or design.
## But what if I "caught" a maintainer previously using LLMs?
