It has to be pure ignorance.

I only have used my works stupid llm tool a few times (hey, I have to give it a chance and actually try it before I form opinions)

Holy shit it's bad. Every single time I use it I waste hours. Even simple tasks, it gets details wrong. I correct it constantly. Then I come back a couple months later, open the same module to do the same task, it gets it wrong again.

These aren't even tools. They're just shit. An idiot intern is better.

Its so angering people think this trash is good. Get ready for a lot of buildings and bridges to collapse because of young engineers trusting a slop machine to be accurate on details. We will look back on this as the worst era in computing.

There’s enough people who drink the koolaid.

I helped this one as guy use an LLM to migrate his test suite to java21. It did help him incorporate some new language features but I don’t see how it made up for my time sitting with him

….. yet to management he saved 20% time. They trust that number despite no actual measurement, and hold it up as efficiency we all need to find.

But certainly if a 20% efficiency gain were real, that would be well worth $100
