Its no different than when GarageBand was a thing - it was really accessible, so musicians who couldn't figure out the tech side before (or didn't want to pay money out for something) started using it heavily and really liked it. You also got an outsized influx of people who didn't understand music who created a whole bunch of stuff that had... issues. You'd see people ask for feedback, and get constructive criticism, and they would just get pissed off at the lack of praise.

Which led to every time someone newer posted something they made, a bunch of comments about how horrible it was that people were pumping out garbage with GarageBand. The scale was much smaller obviously, but the results are the same as now imo.

I think some will start to us LLMs as a tool to get answers (instead of a stackoverflow link that is marked duplicate and the old post is gone or uses horribly outdated libraries), some will get lost thinking they are geniuses with unique prompt mastery, and others will move on. Time will tell though.

    Have to say, when I'm strictly looking for hard info, like, what are the command line switches to achieve the right config for a thing, the AI is pretty much always right. It's not without use, but Doing Things For You is not its best use.

    Doing Things For You is not its best use.

    Thats a bingo!

    I find it a great tool for QA/QC (with RAG, without its... eh), managing tone in a document, finding potential security issues, etc.

    But doing it all for you I have not found to be a useful experience.
