Nobody who's been replaced by a parrot thought they were going to get replaced by a parrot. Where's your espoused intellectual curiosity and mental ambidextrousness when it comes to LLMs? It seems like your mind is pretty firmly made up that they're of no worry to you. |

I'm being vague with the details because this is one of the features in our product that's a big advantage over competitors.
To get to that point I experimented with and prototyped a lot using LLM's; I did a deep dive into how they work from the ground up. I understand the tech and its strengths. But likewise the weaknesses -- or perhaps more apt, the use cases which are more "magic show" than actually useful.
I never dismissed LLM's as useless, but I am as confident as I can possibly be that LLM's on their own cannot and will not put programmers out of jobs. They're a great tool, but they're not what many people seem to be fooled into believing that they are; they are not "intelligent" nor "agents".
Maybe it'll be a bit difficult for juniors to get entry level jobs for a short while due to a misunderstanding of the tech and all the hype, but that'll equalize pretty quickly once reality sets in.
