It has to be pure ignorance.

I only have used my works stupid llm tool a few times (hey, I have to give it a chance and actually try it before I form opinions)

Holy shit it's bad. Every single time I use it I waste hours. Even simple tasks, it gets details wrong. I correct it constantly. Then I come back a couple months later, open the same module to do the same task, it gets it wrong again.

These aren't even tools. They're just shit. An idiot intern is better.

Its so angering people think this trash is good. Get ready for a lot of buildings and bridges to collapse because of young engineers trusting a slop machine to be accurate on details. We will look back on this as the worst era in computing.

A lot of people have their livelihood tied to the narrative that LLM deserves every cent of investment. The fact that it's utility is more limited is an existential threat to their careers.

The truth that it is selectively useful gives them a thread of hope, but the fact it is useless for a lot of stuff drives irritation. We don't make a distinction between the sort of work that LLM can do and can't so people end up completely dumbfounded by the other perspective.
