Tangental, but I worry that LLMs will cause a great stagnation in programming language evolution, and possibly a bunch of tech.
I've tried using a few new languages and the LLMs would all swap the code for syntactically similar languages, even after telling them to read the doc pages.
Whether that's for better or worse I don't know, but it does feel like new languages are genuinely solving hard problems as their raison d'etre.
