It may be hard to believe but I am not a 'tech bro'. Never traded crypto or NFTs. My workplace doesn't even allow me to use any LLMs. As a software developer that's a bit limiting but I don't mind.

But in my own time I have dabbled with AI and 'vibe coding' to see what the fuss is all about. Is it the co-programmer AI bros promise to the masses? No, or at least not currently. But useful non the less if you know what you do.

    What's with the name calling? Was any of my arguments wrong or am I just supposed to switch off my brain follow the group-think?

    I suspect that the kind of people who would "know how to use it" don't use it right now since it has not yet reached "useful if you know how to use it" status.

    Software work is dominated by the fat tail distribution of time it takes to figure out and fix a bug. Not by typing code. LLMs, much like any other form of cutting and pasting code without having any clue what it does, gives that distribution a longer, fatter tail, hence its detrimental effect on productivity.
