Similar argument to https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/2025/trusting-your-own-judgement-on-ai/ https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/2025/trusting-your-own-judge..., but I like this one better because at least it doesn’t try to pull the rhetorical trick of slipping from “we can’t know whether LLMs are helping because we haven’t studied the question systematically” to “actually we do know, and they’re shit”.
- troupo 1y agoWow. Quite a conclusion from an article that actually doesn't reach for that conclusion
- dcre 1y agoIt’s a bad and incoherent essay. It simultaneously wants to say “we can’t know”, “we do know and it doesn’t work”, and “we know it makes engineering faster and that’s bad because most engineering is bad.” This isn’t nuance, it’s confusion. Sorry!
- troupo 1y agoIt simultaneously wants none of those things
