Every time I check this comment section, this sentence jumps out at me again. You "had to" ask an LLM. You "had to".

>Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: “After [however long] using AI coding assistants, there’s no way I’m going back!” You know, I don’t doubt that this is true. Because I’m not sure some of the people who say this could go back. It reads like praise on the surface, but those same words betray a chilling sense of dependence.

Perhaps, very ironically, they did "have to."

Social media brought us the age of 'the irresistible urge to proffer one's opinion on everything'. AI evolved that age to the dizzying advancement of 'not requiring a brain to do so'.
