Lately I often feel like "old man yells at cloud", but I get so frustrated by so many people just giving over their own thinking skills to an LLM.

"An LLM said x, so it must be true!"

It weighs on me.

I've used LLMs, when I hit a dead end, as a rubber duck - Explain stuff to it and then I feel it adds value. It points out the one thing just missed , or just gives me enough context to have my "duh!" moment.

The thing I use colleagues for, too. But it's useful in the sense that the LLM isn't stuck in meetings ;)

@jan Mja maybe we (the collective humanity “we”) are simply gpung through a learning curve. Especially in areas where people are inexperience, using a llm is both helpful and problematic. Helpful to get them started but you tend to rely on it too much. I have no idea (for now) if it inhibits real learning or helps it, but using it to contribute too quickly can indeed be harmful.
