LLMs are fine. they're useful. they can generate code, and they can generate porn, and that's about 90% of what most people want. (mostly porn, for me, but that's because i enjoy writing my own code.)

they're shit because all the useful ones are owned by large tech corporations and, like any capitalists, they will fuck everything up, enshittify it, burn down the planet to build datacentres, whatever. obviously that's all bad. like i said the other day, corporations are cunts.

so we should be opposed to LLMs for the same reason we're opposed to corporations.

but this means it's fairly absurd to point at some code written by an LLM and say "haha, you used an LLM to write this? what an idiot!". i don't use LLMs to write code, but i have evaluated them for that, and yes, they sometimes produce code which is obviously or subtly wrong, but they can also produce exactly the same code i would have written myself.

pointing at a commit and saying "haha, this was written by an LLM, how silly!" makes you look like an idiot. LLMs can write useful code; that's an objective fact. if you're opposed to LLMs, you should oppose them for actual reasons, not for some reason you just made up.
