This isn’t just a “people in charge” problem. Way too many developers are part of the problem by using LLMs for the wrong problems.

This is the simple checklist for using LLMs:

1. You are the expert
2. LLM output is exclusively your input

All other use is irresponsible. Unless of course the knowledge within the output isn’t important.

I haven’t seen anything yet. At work, the ones that praise AI the loudest are exceptionally highly correlated with the people who lack a good understanding of the core concepts. The ones that just float around cargo culting and looking busy by making noise.

That said, LLMs are still useful tools, that are highly misused. What they’re useful for, is a lot less than most think. The user needs to be the expert. If they’re not, they’d be better off reading a book on the matter (and how things are looking, it might have to be one written before LLMs came out).

That part threw me off. Last time i used it, I did incremental backups of a 500 gig disk once a week or so, and it took 20 seconds max.
