LLMs are useful if you use them properly and they are getting better everyday. Arguing against LLMs is like arguing against a shovel. Just use it right.
LLMs are powerful tools but they are not going to save the world. I have seen this before. The experienced crowd gets chuffed because it is a new pattern that radically changes their current workflow. The new crowd haven't optimised yet so they over use the new way of doing things until they moderate it. The only difference I can detect is that rate of change increased to an almost uncomprehensable pace.
The wave’s still breaking, so I’m going to ride it out until it smooths into calm water. Maybe it never will. I don't know.
