The six year old English took me more effort to read than it should. The point of language is to communicate. Write in a way that people can read.
But to the point of the post, yeah, I agree. The people using LLMs are just using it to compensate for a horrible toolkit. It doesn't help them think or break down problems that nobody has seen before. If it makes them quicker it's because they were using caveman-level tools before. I haven't typed every character in the code I produce for at least a decade at this point. Most of my time and effort is in thinking. But for braindead code monkeys, sure, anything will make you quicker.

- drawback 2y agoThat might be true for American English. LLMs are bad in my language and can not produce long texts without obvious mistakes just yet.
