You don’t think relying on a system you yourself are predicting will replace you isn’t investing in a downward slope. Wait until you find out Llms are helping suppress your wages.

> this is on them for being lazy.

Just like you gave into Llms you became lazy about writing code. That is the trend with Llms, to do less work as you’ve been pointing out.

You saving time the same thing as being lazy.

Not using LLMs doesn't make them go away. Whether they suppress wages or replace anyone is completely out of my control. Avoiding them just means I'd be producing below my potential

> you became lazy about writing code

I haven't, though. I still do the same amount of work except now I get more done. Now more of my energy goes into architecture, testing, specs, making sure it's built well instead of the lower level wiring things together

I use them for their perfect memory and as a creativity buddy, not for them to think for me

And the expectations will exceed you getting more done. You don't think your employer will try and squeeze even more out of you because of AI?

[AstroBen]

I'd rather be unemployed than work for someone like that

I have no goal to make them go away. My goal is to not use them because I don’t have to. Using Llms removes your agency to not use them. You become more reliant on using them.
