I'm firmly convinced at this point that there is just no arguing with the haters. At the same time, it feels like this transition is as inevitable as the transition to mobile phones. LLM's are everywhere, and there's no escaping it no matter how much you might want to.
There's always some people that will resist to the bitter end, but I expect them to be few and far between.
It's not really a matter of wanting to escape them. I've used them. They're not good for writing code. They feel zippy, but you have to constantly clean up after them. It's as slow and frustrating as trying to walk a junior engineer through a problem they don't fully understand. I'd rather do it myself.
If the AI agent future is so inevitable, then why do people waste so much oxygen insisting upon its inevitability? Just wait for it in silence. It certainly isn't here yet.

And if we accept that inevitability, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. The fact that some people _want_ us to give in is a reason to keep resisting.
There is absolutely no inevitability as long as there is a willingness to contemplate what is happening.
