## Summary

Kyle Kingsbury says LLM use erodes trust in documentation, software, and the organizations that produce them. He adds that engineers may begin to treat new software projects with suspicion because maturity signals are now easier to counterfeit. The remarks appear in his Jepsen results for ParticleDB 1.1.4.
