My LLM said this was a good article :)

I'm surprised nobody mentioned (including the author) the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect [1]... Just substitute "LLM" for "journalist" and there you have it.

And to be honest, I have seen it, as I'm sure (almost) everyone has, who has demonstrated experience/expertise in their own fields, and correct the LLM's responses one time or another...

Same thing I personally am not a front end guy but I have dabbled with it in the past but I am writing a front end app and a chrome extension, but besides a few pages of code I have reviewed I really do not know what the fck is written (its for an MVP I am building) and I am feeling really conflicted as to what the fuck do I do. At work, the stuff I write has a decent mix of my code, AI code and a few things I do the old way of copying from stackoverflow and seeing what works/doesn't work.

LLMs are good on things I know little about, but fall short on things I'm good in.

No, they fail all the time.

You just don't notice all the bullshit if you're not already an expert in the field you generate LLM output for.

LLMs are like fire: great servant, terrible master

The LLM industry is deliberately consuming human expertise on a grand scale, so that eventually knowledge work is delegated to any machine, yet I have to gain some sense of comfort knowing that for the present point in time it still rewards personal skill?

Regardless of whether you agree with the claim or not, it's definitely not the endgame.

Not the best way to test this, but I am working on a blog post, where I'll implement a problem statement with the dumbest/cheapest AI model while someone non technical person will vibe code end to end and compare both of them.

Now everyone who feels rewarded by LLMs will conclude that it demonstrates their expertise. ;)

What a nothing-burger. Garbage in garbage out. Hasn't everyone who worked with LLM's experienced this?
