I mean.. I'm one of the staunchest skeptics of LLMs as agents, but they're amazing as supercharged autocomplete and I don't see anything wrong with them in that role. There's a position between handwritten and slopped that's pareto.

When I want to autocomplete my code with IP scraped from github with all licensing removed, nothing beats an LLM.

They can take away our jobs, but by god they cannot take away our autism!
