I use LLMs daily for coding. They are great. They are not a replacement for reading a book like the one linked here, or understanding image formation, lenses etc. Many people seem to imagine that all this stuff is now obsolete and all you need to do is wire up some standard APIs, ask an LLM to glue the json and that's all there is to being a computer vision engineer nowadays. Maybe even pros will self denigradinglybsay say say that but after a bit of chatting it will be obvious they have plenty of background knowledge beyond prompting vision language models.
So it's not disdain, I'm simply trying to broaden the horizon for those who only know about computer vision from OpenAI announcement and tech news and FOMO social media influencers.
