There are 2 things at play here, one is LLM with human in the loop, in which it's just a tool for programmers to do the same thing they have been doing, and the other is LLM as black box automaton. For the former, it's not a problem that the tool is undeterministic, we are double checking the results and add our manual labour anyway. The fact that a tool can fail sometimes is an unsurprising fact of engineering.
I think the criticism in this chain of comment applies more to the latter, but even it always has values to non-tech people, just like how no-code approaches are, however shitty it looks to us software enfineers.
- elric 2y agoI don't know. Programming with an LLM turns every line of code into legacy code that you have to maintain and debug and don't fully grok because you didn't write it yourself.
- nsonha 2y agoIf it's in your PR then you wrote it, no one should be approving code they do not understand whether that's from AI or googling. Nothing changes there.
