I'm sorry but this is simply incorrect.
What you are saying is true of pure vibe coding, but you get an insane net gain from using LLMs for sanity checks and as a general 'bootstrap' for a project.
Yes it will make mistakes, but if you can actually program well so as to understand when it is incorrect, it is incredibly helpful as a tool.
if you get a net gain, you are an untalented hack and shouldn't be let anywhere near SW development.
You are foolish, myopic and stuck on the wrong point about AI in the first place.
The problem with LLM bs is not that it's not as proficient as a human, that can be remedied with time.
The problem is that it's essentially evil demon tech being used to fuck us all over
You can hate me for using the demon tech, but do explain the logical reasoning behind your answer? It can be emotional reasoning though, no worries.
To me it is purely like the best search engine you could ever encounter (perplexity specifically) and the pro version is a benefit for my banking choice so I slowly got sucked in to using a paid version for "free"...
I would have been a luddite back in the day because I know exactly what it really means, and I stand with all workers.
I am not a crazy AI nut, I'd rather crack one. I specialised in AI at uni until 2021 and then my moral OCD kept me from even touching AI since. Until I started using it purely as a replacement for a google search, unless I knew what I was looking for already and forgot identifying info.
Would you rather spend hours searching about Linux issues and trying to decipher which package manager for which OS uses which commands has which packages to translate an applicable form of help to your installed system...
Or would you rather type a question explaining what you want as you would to a human?
~~I used to be googlese but then they destroyed it, I'm a qwant user now because I champion european tech and eventual real sovereignty from the united states of america. ~~
I know which exhausts me far less and allows me to focus on actual implementation and best practices using the limited time available to me on this earth but you do you.
