Notice it was 'a set of tools'

They're using it correctly. It's a system of tools, not an autopilot.

It's weird that the discussion has collapsed down to "autopilots" vs. "abstention". I'm thrilled to be converging on an understanding that it instead "people who understand what they're trying to do" vs. "vibe coders".

  • In defense of the cynics, I get the impression in a situation where (a) there's a lot of company marketing hype in such a competitive market that begs cynicism, and (b) we're constantly learning the boundary of trained LLMs can actually do (and can't), as well as unusual emergent workflows, that really do make a difference.
