who have not used it*

Exactly the opposite at my company. The most anti-AI are the ones who have used it because they refuse to learn anything new. These people also struggle to use their web browser and their email client.

From "it has no value" to "it's self destructive". You don't even know what point you're trying to make. An LLM is more coherent than you.

Millions of people use them every day at this point. To deny the value at this point is like being a young earth creationist. A religious determination to be a luddite

Wild 180 to talk shit about people that 'pretend they are creating a new life form' and then spend an entire paragraph anthropomorphizing LLMs

Resistance to change is certainly a part of it. But also, some of these people are so old it's actually hard for them to learn something new. I work with people that can't figure out their iPhone. There's no hope for them to understand and utilize something this different.

Right, because technology never improves

A year ago: 'It's fancy autocomplete. It will never do anything useful'
Now: 'Those people losing their jobs never deserved them to begin with'

I work with obscure assembly system code, which they've all struggled with. But recently, I think they're (particularly Gemini 2.5 Pro) about as good as someone with 2 years of experience. The job involves more than just coding, but it's clear to me that humans using AI will displace jobs.

You can reduce hiring and still train new talent. Nobody's going to stop hiring completely. That's a strawman. But it will still have a huge impact on the economy.

He's still gonna be ranting about how useless they are after a developer using LLMs takes his job.

If it could accurately tell you an answer, why do you want links?

90% of the time they search, people just want an answer. The issue is with the accuracy with the current tech. But I think it's obvious as that improves they will replace classical search.

This is already what my job is, except it's 100% human-written code

What a completely ignorant comment

When considering the misuse I think it's important to consider our current systems allow for bias and abuse. Cops already stop POC at higher rates and abuse their power. If we can show the bias and abuse is less than human cops already do, then it should be a no brainer.

The oversight would be crucial and without it, it would be easy to abuse. However, because it's a digital system, it should be possible to build a paper trail and oversight into the system in a way that's fair. At least more fair than the current system where cops are supposed to report abuses by their coworkers.
