I think that until LLMs can assertively say "no" to your requests, we won't be able to rely on them autonomously. The greatest downside of ChatGPT, Copilot, and similar tools is that they always give you something in return, they always provide some sort of answer and rarely challenge your original request. That's the biggest difference I've noticed so far between working with humans and machines. Humans will usually push back, and together you can come up with something better (perhaps with less code or fewer processes, or less dependencieS). Chatbots (as of now) just throw at you one of the thousands of potential solutions to shut your mouth.

Is this bad news? It means that managers who think too much of their "great" ideas (without having a deep knowledge of the respective area) and want "obedient" subordinates will be in for a nasty surprise. :-)
