    Having to deal with pull requests defecated by “developers” who blindly copy code from chatgpt is a particularly annoying and depressing waste of time.

    At least back when they blindly copied code from stack overflow they had to read through the answers and comments and try to figure out which one fit their use case better and why, and maybe learn something… now they just assume the LLM is right (despite the fact that they asked the wrong question and even if they had asked the right one it’d’ve given the wrong answer) and call it a day; no brain activity or learning whatsoever.

      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?
