I'm not sure most people do hate llm use as users. I am very impressed, well more like stunned at where we have come in the last few year. I use Claude almost every day and I love the productivity gains it affords.

What i will say though is that (for me anyways) working with an llm like Claude can be mentally taxing because of how fast we can move together. I also refuse to vibe code so i am always proofing the work and maintaining a context of what we are working on

Perhaps this increased cognitive load is what others are talking about if they say they dont like using an llm

"we". Not creepy at all. AI is not a person.

Sure, I get it.

On the other hand it is not like we (as people) never personify our tools. Take boats as the iconic example. Many languages place genders on nouns. I'll also say that it sure looks like a conversation to me when I use Claude the tool.
