We all use them at some point, given how much effort the big tech is investing to make the shitty LLMs un-avoidable, from search to cramming them into support processes etc. The issue is whether people like them. And they mostly do not.

I don't need to ask an educator - I can just ask my kids, and they and their friends absolutely hate it .

TL;DR: A great technology drives its own adoption, its usage is pioneered by the tweens and young adults, it requires minimum effort and investment to hop on board, and it does not need explaining. It grows organically. Examples: internet b

Like everything else with LLMs, it works...until it doesn´t. We swear so much at them that they eventually start producing results like "I found what the fuck was wrong with this shit!" etc. Which of course they did not, because t

It abstracts shit mate. How many Rs in the strawberry and if you want to go to a car wash, should you walk, run or drive? They're just fucking text generators, which happen to spit out something half-usable about 60% of the time.

A linter won't prevent your idiot LLM from going bonkers and suddenly switching to GQL instead of REST just for that one endpoint, because it confabulated something or putting your stripe secret into your react frontend - all cases of

Feel free to be optimistic about AI, but please don't serve us AI slop as your own authorship.

To the author - please don't post AI-generated slop, even if you edited it to look less like slop. It not only insults the reader's intelligence, it takes out the fun out of reading. If I wanted to read slop, I'd have generat

Are you telling me, it did not make them "productive" in ways most of (us non-AI-boosters) "cannot even begin to imagine"? Who could've thought - a lot of average stuff, still ends up producing average result?
