    That is not a problem with the ai software, that’s a problem with hiring morons who have zero experience.

      No. LLMs are very good at scamming people into believing they’re giving correct answers. It’s practically the only thing they’re any good at.

      Don’t blame the victims, blame the scammers selling LLMs as anything other than fancy but useless toys.

        Did you get scammed by the LLM? If not, what’s the difference between you and the dev you mentioned?

          I was lucky enough to not have access to LLMs when I was learning to code.

          Plus, over the years I’ve developed a good thick protective shell (or callus) of cynicism, spite, distrust, and absolute seething hatred towards anything involving computers, which younger developers yet lack.

            Sorry, you misunderstood my comment, which was very badly worded.

            I meant to imply that you, an experienced developer, didn’t get “scammed” by the LLM, and that the difference between you and the dev you mentioned is that you know how to program.

            I was trying to make the point that the issue is not the LLM but the developer using it.

              And I’m saying that I could have been that developer if I were twenty years younger.

              They’re not bad developers, they just haven’t yet been hurt enough to develop protective mechanisms against scams like these.

              They are not the problem. The scammers selling the LLM’s as something they’re not are.
