Time saving cannot go one way only

Parent article: The Software Freedom Conservancy's LLM-backed generative AI recommendations

> I have no problems with you deciding to save time by using an LLM; but I expect you to invest a comparable amount of time in understanding and polishing your submission.

If we take Kernighan's quote:

> Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you’re as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?

-- Brian Kernighan, 1974

Can anyone really benefit from using an LLM? I expect either the user doesn't do enough debugging work (and thus quality goes down, or the burden is moved to the maintainer as you say), or that it spends twice as much time as it did before LLMs (and quality remains more or less constant).
