While I agree with you on the merits that LLM-generated code tends to be 
low quality, ideally that will be caught during code review. I think a 
blanket ban on it makes more sense because of the legal implications of 
including LLM-generated code in our codebase.

I am not a lawyer, so I cannot say for certain how the legality plays 
out, and it may be safer to just not permit it than try to hire a laywer 
to figure out how to permit it, if it's even possible.
