The LLMs are not just another tool for these folks, but for folks who should not be touching code at all. That's the scary part. In my field (industrial automation), I have had to correct issues three times now in the ladder logic on a PLC that drives an automation cell that can definitely kill or hurt someone in the right circumstances (think maintenance/repair). When asked where the logic came from, they showed me the tutorials they feed to their LLM of choice to "teach" it ladder logic, then had it spit out answers to their questions. Safety checks were missed, needless to say, which thankfully only broke the machines. These are young controls engineers at big companies. I won't say who, but many of you probably use one of their products to go to your own job. I am not against using LLMs as a sort of rubber duck to bounce ideas off of or maybe get you thinking in a different directions for the sake of problem solving, but letting them do the work for you and not understanding how to check the validity of that work is maddeningly dangerous in some situations.
