At what point are people going to stop shitting on the code that Copilot or other LLM tools generate? > how trivial the problems they solve are A single line of code IS trivial. Simple code is good code. If I write the first 3 lines of a complex method and I let Copilot complete the 4th, that's 25% of my code written by an LLM.

These tools have exploded in popularity for good reason. If they were no good, people wouldn't be using them. You're saying anything that's ever been popular is popular for a good reason? You can't think of counter examples that disprove this? You're saying anything that people decide to do is good, or else people wouldn't do it? People never act irrationally? People never blindly act on trends? People never sacrific…
I use these tools daily and they help me immensely. If you prefer Googling for docs, browsing stack overflow, or even flicking through textbooks to find the answers/materials you need - that's great! Do what works for you. I value my time slightly more than that and prefer not to remain stuck in the past.
