Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

My coworkers seem to like it. All of my teams messages are in iambic pentameter now.
Yeah everyone at my job is enamored with LLMs for some reason. This week someone asked me a (very simple) question, but started out saying "AI was useless for this question" and linked to a screenshot of an LLM conversation.
Normally I don't mind simple questions that much, even though as a professional programmer he should learn to debug his own compiler errors; but the constant adoration of LLMs is driving me mad.
Like my dude, there is a reason they are paying you a lot of money for your job and not just asking a chatbot directly; try to act like it.
^Aaaah^ ^I^ ^want^ ^out^
The AI problem is still in an earlier stage at my job, but I've already witnessed in a code review that code was pointed out as questionable, and then it was justified with what amounted to "the AI generated this, it wasn't me". I really don't like where this is going.
A colleague said "I don't know how it works, but it seems to. The AI generated it" and I wanted to hurt him.
