I don't think so, I think it's more about openness. I've noticed older software engineers tend to be more anti-LLM and quick to dismiss.

The shortcomings are aplenty, but they don't bother me. The things it can do weren't possible 2 years ago. I'll leverage those and take the bad with the good.

Similar experience with Tesla FSD. I know other Tesla owners who tried it a few times and think it's trash because they had to disengage. I disengage preemptively all the time but the other 90% of my drive being done for me is not something that used to be possible. I tried to give up my subscription because it's expensive and couldn't hold out two days.

What percent of the time do you have to drive your car?

Wow, a highly ageist comment, if there ever was one.

Congrats. Trying for a job and looking for less competition, maybe?
