  • I agree with you, as long LLM users understand what they are doing.

    Just adding that this is the lesser-talked-about issue with AI adoption. While “it’s a good tool” is a common argument, it really only holds true if the person using the tool is a skilled developer. For the moment, that’s fine.

    What happens in 10-20 years when there are no developers, because the younger folks only learned how to interact with the AI and not how to code from scratch? It seems to me that it ceases to become a good tool in the longer term. The issue is epistemological.

    This kind of forward thinking is rarely applied for such cases, though. Capitalist ventures always focus exclusively on the short term, regardless of the lofty goals attached to them (which generally are only there to attract investment anyway, not to serve as any kind of deeper analysis of the potential effects of a product).
