I'm seeing a worrying pattern in this space. Some engineers I work with treat LLMs like unquestionable machine gods. I've rejected PRs which are quite frankly trash piles and have received responses which are clearly LLM generated defending the PR using reasoning at the level of an elderly rat.

The problem is that a not insignificant portion of engineers out there in the real world don't care if something is good or not as long as someone signs it off. And another not insignificant portion of engineers out there really can't tell if something is good or not. They take no responsibility for it - it's just seen as a way of abstracting themselves from the responsibility. I can't fathom how their reasoning works there either.

As always, human problems. LLMs make the worst of us faster and more demanding at being terrible. The are definitely a net loss in a large org or a Dunning Kruger inflicted team.
