How long until “the LLM did it it” is just as effective as “AWS is down, not my fault”?

Never because the only reason that works with Amazon is that everyone is down at the exact same time.

  • Everyone will suffer from slop code at the same time.

    • Yeah but that's very different from an AWS outage. Everyone's website being down for a day every year or 2 is something that it's very hard to take advantage of as a competitor. That's not true for software that is just terrible all the time.

This to me is the point.. LLMs can't be responsible for things. It sits with a human.

  • Why can LLMs not be responsible for things? (genuine question - I'm not certain myself).

    • because it doesn't have any skin in the game and can't be punished, and can't be rewarded for succeeding. Its reputation, career, and dignity are nonexistent.
