alt Hacker NewsThe declaration of no-LLM was done for social prestige or maybe self-deception of self-sufficiency like "I don't need LLM". And when it was time to do the actual work, the dependency kicked in like drugs. A lesson for all of us with LLMs in our workflow.
Sure I use LLMs in my workflows. I use a calculator too.
I can divide 98,324,672,722 by 161,024 by hand. At least I used to be able to do, but nobody is going to pay me to do that when a calculator exists.
Likewise I can write a bunch of assembly (well OK I can't), but why would I do that when my compiler can convert my intention into it.
