Exactly. Also "I know I wasted mountains of money on this stupidly, get me something that helps hiding how incompetent I am!"

The LLM technology DOES have utility and I personally get incredible use out of them as coding assistants in particular.

That claim alone already nicely shows you are incompetent. Because nobody gets that level of use out of coding assistants. Sure, there are some people that struggle at "Hello, world" and these may mistakenly think what they get is "incredible". But these people do not count. The other option is that you are in delusion or lying.

Indeed. And LLMs cannot scale up, because that requires actual insight and model-building. These things are restricted to smart humans. Admittedly, smart humans are a minority and most humans would not ever reach these 800 lines. But in actual software projects, 800 lines is tiny. Maybe you can do, say, the software for a heater or a simple electronic scale in that.

"... Or perhaps today it's a semantic mirror which reflects back insights you didn't know you had"

Hahahaha, no. That one is called "delusion". To be fair, sycophantic tactics are often aiming at creating exactly this impression. This approach works well on weaker minds and the commercial LLMs are all using it.
