Spoiler: it's not

Risk aversion is a tradeoff, not always a weakness.
The people using the LLMs are the risk, not the LLMs themselves
Frankly, if you think this, why do you think you're special? If people using LLMs are bad, how are you not also subject to the same issues they are?
Also, "risk" and "bad" are not the same thing
Because just like a scalpel you have to know how to use it.
No risk, no reward

This is not a mystery

It is absolutely going to be a competitive advantage if it isn't already. When your competitors' products suck because they are using LLMs to write them, and yours work because you aren't, customers notice.
That assumes there's no way to use LLMs in a productive manner
Every power user of LLMs thinks that they are the ones that know how to hold it correctly, in reality they usually have major Dunning Kruger and are convinced they're living in some hyper productivity mode when actually they're all just copying each other making low effort slop that all sounds the same, looks the same and does the same things.
This indicates exposure to only surface-level, greenfield part of the industry
Aw was your comment too unhinged? Or is it because you confused it for Ghost Robotics?
For the record, the comment you deleted was something to the effect of:

checks notes

The company you work for is committing genocide. You should be locked up in a concrete cell for 10-15 years for working at <wrong robotics company because you're a dufus>

Maybe get better notes? Or try going offline for 10-15 years?

I should go offline? I deleted my comment after I realized my mistake before you ever even responded. Relax.
No offense, but if you think your using AI in the development and design of your site, voxos.ai , gave you a competitive advantage it didn't. I can instantly tell when someone used an LLM to build their whole site and lets just say... Its not a good thing.
I'm absolutely outraged. Thank you for this valuable feedback!
I'm not even trying to be mean, although it probably comes off that way. I'm just saying we live in a world with handmade watches from Switzerland and mass manufactured watches made in Vietnam. Nobody cares about the mass manufactured watch from Vietnam, whereas the handmade watch gets all the attention (and money). We now live in a world with the same dichotomy of software. Be creative with your pursuits, put effort into them it will pay off.
Nice analogy.
