I can't really agree. I've never seen anything from an LLM that I would consider even helpful, never mind transformative.
How are you supposed to use them?
Is this seriously so? Have you never seen anything helpful from an LLM? That seems such a black and white statement that I get confused.
I am conservative regarding AI driven coding but I still see tremendous value.
It makes me want to ask you: do you ever see helpful things from your colleagues at all?
