What do LLMs mean for GnuPG?

[Hakun_the_eril]

I am a user of tools like Cursor,- and my personal opinion is that LMM is
not perfect. But for those who cannot program because  of neurological
conditions, it is a valuable tool.
Of course there are bad tools, and good tools.
If the programming follows programming standards like  PEP 8, rustfmt,
clippy etc..
It has test modules who actually exercises code , it has been fuzzed,
fuzzers have been running with  AddressSanitizer + UBSan , it has been
tested against Wycheproof test vectors, RFC 5639, and BSI specifications
etc..
It also have self documented code , with documentation on what does what I
personally dont have big issues with it.
Of course,- it needs testing and human validation of important and
sensitive functions.
If all those criteria passes,- one its a good tool.
Many people feel threatened by LMM's, and they have their right to be
skeptical.
But,- who can write 100% perfect code ?
