The problem with that is that most people writing code do not have a good idea what is all required on a more abstract level. And hence using coding assistants they will overlook stuff they would not have coding directly. This is, incidentally, not a new situation. When I did my CS studies some 35 years ago, the 5GL project had just completely failed. The idea was to have the coder only write a spec in constraint logic and have the code synthesized by software. Turns out, writing a spec for code is much harder and more effort than writing code. I suspect LLM coding assistants are subject to the same problem, with hallucinations added on top.

There is also the thing that tasting "sweet" triggers insulin production and hence you need to consume real sugar to compensate for the loss in blood sugar.

All "sweet" is problematic. It is a rare part in any natural diet, and if you make it more than a relatively rare part of yours, there will be negative consequences.

Indeed. But the LLM cultists think they LLMs are magic. And obviously, LLM conversations will have the highest levels of protection, surely.

In actual reality, a single simple question to any of the free LLMs or even the free search-integrated ones would have shown these people actual reality. But when you do magical thinking, you do not verify against reality, no matter how simple that would be.

They could have asked a simple question to any of the free LLMs out there and they would have known. Instead they assumed without any attempt to find out. Does not get much dumber than this.

On the plus side, if this is the typical LLM user, the LLM brain-rot that is currently found in numerous studies will not destroy anything of value.

Probably more of the magical thinking so prevalent with the LLM fans. I mean a simple question to any free LLM will likely give you a very clear answer. The problem is these morons do not even ask the question. They just think LLMs are magic and great and cannot have any bad properties. I would say it could be LLM induced brain-rot, except that these people probably came in this exceptionally dumb.
