Regardless of that, LLMs could be a Moloch problem.

That is, if anyone uses it your life will be worse, but if you don't use it then your life will be even worse than those using it.

Too bad you programmers didn't unionize when you had the chance so you could fight this. Guess you'll have to pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

Well, at least thus far, the only reason my life is worse due to AI is because of all the people who won't stop talking about how amazing it is for vibe-coding everything from scratch despite ample empirical evidence to the contrary.

Until and unless there are some more significant improvements in how it works with regard to creating code, having strong "manual" programming skills is still paramount.
