This. Llms aren’t very good and are just predictive text. And I say that as someone who has a lot of experience using them. We don’t have anything to fear from AI for quite some time.

As an aside, the AI generated search snippets in google are messing me up. They seem good for random things I don’t know about but are awful for programming things where I’m looking for a specific solution to a specific problem. They always just give me the “right” way no matter how much it doesn’t really work like that.

An example would be trying to figure out how to solve a weird edge case or error, something that stack overflow is amazing at and it just feeds me generic instructions - which honestly fooled me for a while before I learned to ignore.
