There have been quite a few skeptic blog posts recently about LLM. Some say they won't use it for coding, others for getting creative ideas, and others won't use it for editing and publishing. However, the silent issue all these posts have in common is that resistance is futile.

To be fair, I also don't like using Copilot when working on code. In many cases it turns into a weird experience when the agent generates the next line(s) and I basically become a discriminator judging if the thing really understands my problem and solution. To be honest, it's boring even if eventually it might make me turn in code faster.

With that said, I cannot ignore that LLMs are happening, and this is the future. The models keep improving but more importantly, the ecosystem keeps improving with things like MCP and better defined context for LLM tools.

We might be looking at a somewhat grim prospect. But like it or not, this is the future. Adapt and survive.

I understand. The question is what does it mean to "survive" for someone.

For me survival means: - continuing to do my best at the language level – even if more people would start be gradually satisfied with less - I just believe that education, critical thinking and evidence-based principles are at core of humanity progress and one day it will make comeback - I am ok with smaller income and not wishing to exchange it for creating bullshit

The adaptation for me means: - generally: stay open-minded - I have to understand and somehow accept that the prospect is a bit grim but not to fall into some extreme and doom thinking - I have to explore new ways how to augment human-oriented creativity (with or without these tools)

What do you think?
