As noted LLMs can only give you what you ask for, but for a lot of problems what you ask for isn't what you need; it's two or three steps removed. And LLMs can't tell you that you're doing something wrong; unlike curmudgeonly users on SO or in various forums/channels.

My gut feeling is that we're going to enter into a 'dark age' of coding where a lot of previously available resources are going to be ransacked and made hard to find in favor of big corporation owned LLMs. It's already having an extremely bad effect on search in general; we're potentially only a few fights away from sites like SO having users leave en masse. That's why I think having a strong network of engineers to talk with will become more important than ever, almost a return to the IRC days.
