    No. LLMs are very good at scamming people into believing they’re giving correct answers. It’s practically the only thing they’re any good at.

    Don’t blame the victims, blame the scammers selling LLMs as anything other than fancy but useless toys.

      Okay before I blamed your terrible employees who are incredibly bad at their jobs but maybe I should blame their leadership after that comment

      Did you get scammed by the LLM? If not, what’s the difference between you and the dev you mentioned?

        I was lucky enough to not have access to LLMs when I was learning to code.

        Plus, over the years I’ve developed a good thick protective shell (or callus) of cynicism, spite, distrust, and absolute seething hatred towards anything involving computers, which younger developers yet lack.
