I feel similarly to the author, and I appreciate the links to other authors with similar sentiments - "hirirng a taskrabbit to solve a puzzle" or "feeling nothing about the results". I don't enjoy using LLMs, and I'm sad that it feels like we are a shrinking minority of programmers. It feels like a growing gulf that I increasingly don't want to try and reach across - I do not have fun with this tool, and I don't real…

I hear you. If you find any other places to hang out that aren't busy hyping AI constantly, let me know please?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

i like the exosuit analogy.. if you cant lift something because its heavy, but have an exo suit that will let you lift it... does that make you feel like a fraud? AI is like that its a tool. you;re still responsible for the use of it and the output of it. you need to understand that if you use that exo suit to hurt someone or use it poorly and damage something/someone.. thats entirely on you. just like a knife in you…

No need to invent a fictional exosuit. We already have real machines that augment our physical abilities like cars and excavators and such Anyways, you ever seen the average excavator pilot? They're often very physically unhealthy I predict the average LLM pilot will be similarly mentally unhealthy

I suspect you're right
