I think it’s more about turning language models into your smart intern, rather than letting them do all your work or become your moronic boss.

In any case, I do think there could be room for AI in the future—for instance, in academic research. I recently saw a news story about an AI that managed to detect certain types of cancer based on a specific blood test; I consider that a justifiable use of AI. However, using it to autonomously send PRs? That strikes me as going too far.
