Agreedm Modifying Hitchen's Maxim - "That which can be asserted without thought and be dismissed without thought".

Or to put it another way, expecting me to review code you didn't and had an LLM generate is pushing the onus onto me and that's not happening.

My personal adaptation of Hitchen's Razor for LLM content is that "that which is brought for review with low effort, must be dismissed with as much or less effort".

I think there's a category of Denial of Service vulnerabilities that we call 'amplified DoS' attacks, where the asymmetry of effort allows an attacker to generate a disproportional waste of resources, submitting LLM content output that magnifies the volume of the input, I think is a form of such attack, and hiding the fact that it is LLM would be the cherry that adds maliciousness.
