    I suspect it's the same people that blindly copied stackoverflow code without understanding it. Which is likely where the LLMs are getting most of its answers from in the first place.

    and these people were always the majority.

    so people saying that genai amplifies, they are correct, it amplifies the bullshit and the bad things.

    there were always more mediocre and useless people that top performers.

    it has been a miracle that anything has worked good enough so far.
