I don't see it as negatively, in that there are specific trade-offs.

For one: LLMs make a lot of mistakes. We all see that when they hallucinate search results and what not. But, possibly even more important than that, you ultimately become dependent on some big company via LLMs. Perhaps that trade-off is worth it for some companies, but I personally don't want to become dependent on these companies. I actually consider it a hostile attack from the USA, and under Trump this is even more obvious.

Another thing that sucks by LLMs is documentation. They generate a lot of crap that is useless. So that's another area where humans could be better.

Admittedly a lot of vibe-coded AI slop is also useful in some ways, but it has started to make me rather angry in general - youtube already spoiled me here. I no longer want to see ANY AI videos at all whatsoever. It just wastes my time. I am not here to empower skynet version 20.2.

OK, but that same argument applied to getting on one of like four cloud providers and essentially everyone did that.
