The core concern here is trust and verification, not really whether a human or LLM typed the characters. Hand-written code can have bugs too. The difference is that hand-written Node.js core has years of battle-testing behind it. The real risk with LLM-generated code is that it looks plausible but hasn't gone through the same level of scrutiny. It passes a quick review because it reads well, but edge cases get missed. I think the better question is: what verification pipeline do you put around any contribution, regardless of origin? If the answer is "the same review process we've always had" then the problem isn't AI, it's whether that process is rigorous enough for the stakes involved.
