when copilot came out and it was nothing more than an extremely fancy auto complete.
that was peak, I'd still write the logic and algorithms and the important bits, it just saved time by quickly writing the line when it got it right, it all went downhill from there.
I prefer using LMMs for tech debt stuff like starting a readme and doing comments.
I do the real brain work and the end product looks nicer.
Sudo code (baseline comments), real code, dev/test, LMM to add more words after. Smack it when it touches my code.
LLMs can be a great assistant. it's like having an intern doing the tedious work while you get to just approve and manage it.
but letting it run the show is like letting the intern manage the whole development unsupervised.
Like the AI that was given access to prod, deleted a database and lied about it. The company also didn't have a backup.

those are the fuckups that become public. there will be a lot of major fuck up.
