It's funny how the assumption is always that LLMs are very useful in an industry other than your own.

I mean they are not wrong.
For all the whinging about bugs and errors around here the software industry in general (some niche sub-fields excepted) long ago decided 80% is good enough to ship and we will figure the rest out later. This entire site is based on startup culture which largely prided itself on MVP moonshots.
Plus plenty of places are perfectly fine with tech dept and the AI fire hose is effectively tech debt on steroids but while it creates it at scale it can also help in understanding it.
It is is own panacea in a way.
I think it is gonna be a while before the industry figures out how to handle this better so might as well just ride the wave and not worry too much about it in software.
Still software is not medicine even if software is required in basically every industry now. It should more conservative and wait till things settle down before jumping in.
