I don’t even argue that they might get useful at some point, but when I point a mouse at a button and press the button it usually results in a reliable action. When I use the LLM (I have so far tried: Claude, ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Mistral) it does something but that something usually isn’t what I want (~the linked tweet). Prompting, studying and understanding the result and then cleaning up the mess for the low price of an expensive monthly sub leaves me with worse results than if I did the thing myself, usually takes longer and often leaves me with subtle bugs I’m genuinely afraid of growing into exploitable vulnerabilities. Using it strictly as a rubber duck is neat but also largely pointless. Since other people are getting something out of the tech, I’ll just assume that the hammer doesn’t fit my nails.
