 This is a quick checklist to help streamline the process:
 
-- NEW: Make your PR against the [develop branch](https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist/tree/develop). That's where all active development happens. This simplifies the later merging into *master*, minimizes any conflicts and usually allows for easy and convenient *fast-forward* merging.
+- Make your PR against the [develop branch](https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist/tree/develop). That's where all active development happens. This simplifies the later merging into *master*, minimizes any conflicts and usually allows for easy and convenient *fast-forward* merging.
 - Show off your progress, even if not yet complete, by creating a [draft](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/about-pull-requests#draft-pull-requests) PR first and switch it as *ready* when you are ready.
 - Make sure all your code is linted and formatted correctly, see below.
+- Using a LLM or any tools based on LLM output is a mixed bag:
+  - If your PR introduces code generated by a LLM but it's not noticeable because the quality is indistinguishable from an experienced dev, then that is fine.
+  - If your PR is obviously just vibe coded, the PR will likely get rejected without a proper review. Limited maintainer time is better used elsewhere.
