>My AI skeptic friends are all nuts

This is dead right; my AI skeptic friend are ideologically opposed to LLMs and GenAI.

Their arguments have nothing to do with how good or bad LLMs are:

- IP issues (for code in a jupyter notebook which will never face IP scrutiny)

- because it exploits slaves and poor people (but so does the computer they use and the clothes they wear).

I also have a few programmer friends who make more legitimate complaints about code quality but because they are friends there is also an obvious subtext of ideological opposition.

My opinion is you should use LLMs anyway; you can hate "capitalism" and still take advantage of the system.
