My biggest problem with the concept of LLMs, even if they weren’t a giant plagiarism laundering machine and disaster for the environment, is that they introduce so much unpredictability into computing. I became a professional computer toucher because they do exactly what you tell them to. Not always what you wanted, but exactly what you asked for.
LLMs turn that upside down. They turn a very autistic do-what-you-say, say-what-you-mean commmunication style with the machine into a neurotypical conversation talking around the issue, but never directly addressing the substance of problem.
In any conversation I have with a person, I’m modeling their understanding of the topic at hand, trying to tailor my communication style to their needs. The same applies to programming languages and frameworks. If you work with a language the way its author intended it goes a lot easier.
But LLMs don’t have an understanding of the conversation. There is no intent. It’s just a mostly-likely-next-word generator on steroids. You’re trying to give directions to a lossily compressed copy of the entire works of human writing. There is no mind to model, and no predictability to the output.
If I wanted to spend my time communicating in a superficial, neurotypical style my autistic ass certainly wouldn’t have gone into computering. LLMs are the final act of the finance bros and capitalists wrestling modern technology away from the technically literate proletariat who built it.

A meme psychoanalysis chart, first row goes:
“Maladaptive pattern” followed by “my partner is a kitsune (foxgirl)”, “I’ve been tricked!”, “depression”
The following row goes:
“After cognitive restructuring”, followed by “my partner is a kitsune (foxgirl)”, “tail!”, “no depression”
Remember if you do get a foxgirl gf, you must adjust your way of thinking. 🦊

A screencap of Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. It shows a mii of Gordon Freeman with the humorously in-character quote, “This isn’t the time for me to be talking.”

The progression in society went from "get a life" in the 80s/90s to "get a hobby" around the early 2000s to "get a job" around the mid 2000s. You can practically see what society started valuing in each era....

I learned recently that it’s an insult in Germany to call someone “hobbyless” or to engage in “hobbyless behavior” and it’s become my favorite way to think of assholes who have nothing better to do than to make other people miserable. Get a hobby. Build a model train and calm down.

Dessin en 4 cases, un lapin brun et un lapin gris discutent. Une carotte au sol entre eux.
Case 1 : Are you Okay ? / No, not really.
Case 2 : Can I help ? / No, not really
Case 3 : ... / But hey, it helps to know you want to help.
Case 4 : Really ? / Yes, really. (un coeur entre eux)
