> Why? In the end it's a patch's quality that counts.

LLM patches tend to be significantly harder to review. Mostly because LLMs let people who don't know what they are doing get much further.

It might be an unfair heurestic as there are plenty of competent people who use it to good effect, but the vast majority of negative value patches use LLMs and it can be a bit exhausting. Lowering the technical barriers of entry just means more pressure on the human ones.
