Yea I have to agree I hate this “moderated LLM use good” stance. I have used LLMs (through private browser windows without login) to understand documentation before, or to get a usage example for a specific function, and I already feel dirty for it. I will absolutely not use that snake oil to generate code for me or even consider installing anything on my hardware.
Even worse is, it still makes up stuff when used in “moderation”, so you’ll get the downsides of vibe coding without the benefits, because you didn’t want to read the docs.
