Who creates the output when using:
- a typewriter?
- a word processor?
- a LLM with a prompt?
It's a very bad comparison, to my mind.
I agree, that LLMs used as in ChatGPT and similar won't just disappear, but they most probably won't surpass a certain level, as that is inherently given by how they work internally. One can try to mitigate the drawbacks, but that won't solve the underlying problems. I will be happily proven wrong on this one.
To be open and curious and at the same time call it "anti-AI sentiment" is more than just a bit confusing, as it suggests there is no critical assessment of new technologies. It's good to acknowledge the advantages but turning a blind eye on the disadvantages and fingerpointing at existing and proven technologies by saying "With those XY is also not good" shows that you might be relying on a hype.
I think I've laid down all my points in the past comments, so I wouldn't answer if I would repeat myself.

@Aron@nerdculture.de @denschub@mastodon.schub.social Actually, I'm more concerned about these downsides of LLMs than about the impact on software quality. Here's a very good podcast episode (in German)

But I have never owned a car, didn't fly since 2018 and try to eat meat only once per week, so I don't feel too guilty for burning a few tokens with vibe coding now.
