Caveats: The LLMs do, I believe, embody some inherent unremovable evil: environmental destruction, job destruction w/o replacement of income, and loss of personal and team learning.

Tool of the fucking oppressor, really.

Of course, I'm letting the machine cheat me of learning how to draw a straight line.

Other tools cheat me of learning how to drive nails with my head, I suppose.

We techies like to say that our inventions are not bad or good: that lies in the use.

And yet ... and yet ...

In the above, I used some advanced facilities from Procreate, including special brushes with pointy ends on the strokes, brushes of fixed width, ability to create a straight line, and, most powerful and helpful, radial symmetry, which is why things look so much the same (both the good bits and the bad.

So ... (caveats to follow) ... maybe I shouldn't hate quite so much on friends who are using LLM support to code. (The sin, of course, not the sinner.)
