Disagree.

The 'washing machine' problem, was solved decades ago.

Improvements in detergent allows basically anything to be washed with cold water.

Added 'features' from late model machines do very little to improve the experience, and instead drive up purchase price, and decrease lifespan.

It's weird that so many pro-LLM arguments rely on bad analogies of other technologies that aren't perfect, and say, "We're not perfect either. That stuff is embedded in society, so you should do that for us too!"

I think it's not as bad of an analogy. Where you dedicated time and perfectionism for each piece of clothing (line of code), now you push a button and get them all done for you.

You mention improvements on how good clothes are washed for you, after decades of technical progress. Oitside of the analogy, we are literally living through that, but in 10x speed on a day to day basis regarding how well AI writes code.
