Using an LLM to code is like using a block of wood as a hammer. It's fast, and it'll do a very specific thing quickly, but eventually it'll splinter to the point of uselessness.

I can't wait until all the copy/code is created by LLMs, and they run out of things to train the LLMs on that won't result in immediate hallucinations.

Maybe they'll start working on a real AI to replace the LLMs, instead of just marketing LLMs as AI.

(probably not)
