alt Hacker NewsHow's this any different than someone 5+ years ago blindly going by whatever a Google result said about anything? I've run into conflicting answers to things off Google's first page of results, some things aren't 100% certain and require more research.
I'm not surprised if this will make some lazier since you don't need to do the legwork of reading, but how many don't read only the headlines of articles before they share articles?

You can interrogate it at least. "Are you sure that's the correct answer? Re-think from the beginning without any assumptions" and you'll get a checklist you can mentally/practically go through yourself to validate.
For code; at least you would have to copy and paste it, and then modify, even if ever so slightly, to make it fit your code.
Now, "Claude, fix that for me".
Differences of degree, not of kind

It has "AI" in the title, so it's a hot take.
Part of it I think is the confidence with which LLMs return answers
