It has to be pure ignorance.
I only have used my works stupid llm tool a few times (hey, I have to give it a chance and actually try it before I form opinions)
Holy shit it’s bad. Every single time I use it I waste hours. Even simple tasks, it gets details wrong. I correct it constantly. Then I come back a couple months later, open the same module to do the same task, it gets it wrong again.
These aren’t even tools. They’re just shit. An idiot intern is better.
Its so angering people think this trash is good. Get ready for a lot of buildings and bridges to collapse because of young engineers trusting a slop machine to be accurate on details. We will look back on this as the worst era in computing.
Generally I equate positivity about LLMs with people’s technical ability. I find the more they say AI is good the worse programmer they are.
Might be some dunnig kruger curve there. Not tooting my horn but I know my ways around and I only use ai for programming when I more or less know how it works already. Which means I verify and fix any eventual problems before committing any code. It does speed up the process, it’s a tiny bit simpler than checking stuff out on stack overflow IMO.
Now, if you don’t know your ways around, and “trusts” the outcome on an LLM, boy are you in trouble 😵💫.
It also says a lot about their inability to identify bullshit
Technical literacy in general. My friend thinks it’s the greatest thing ever, is an idiot with technology (and life in general).
