The real reason I hate using LLMs is because I have to “think” like a social human non software engineer.

For whatever fucking reason, I just can’t get these things to be useful. And then I see idiots connecting an LLM to production like this.

Is that the problem? I literally can’t turn my brain off. The only other nearly universal group of people that seems opposed to LLMs are psychologists and social workers who seem to be universally concerned about its negative effects on mental health and it’s encouragement of abandoning critical thinking.

Like I can’t NOT think through a problem. I already know more about my software than the AI could actually figure out. Anytime I go into GitHub Copilot and say “I want this feature” I get some code and the option to apply it. But the generated code is usually duplicate of something and doesn’t usually pick up or update existing models. The security flaws are rampant, and the generated tests don’t do much of any real testing.

Heh. I asked at work what the plan was when these companies go bankrupt in the next 6 months.

“We figure it out when we get to it.”

Hahahahahahahahahaha. We’re so fucked when this bubble bursts.
