If you don’t have enough insight to understand how GPT4 could be useful for engineers you’re not as enlightened as you think you are.

This comment is giving me “Look at me I’m so very smart” vibes.

I don't think I'm so smart, what I am saying is the GP is being extremely dismissive of other engineers here on Hackernews. Every post about LLMs is full of engineers stating how these have been useful to them. GP simply asserts that these are all "terrible engineers." Do we think that's REALLY the case or in fact LLMs can be very useful, especially when for example learning a new language or framework they haven't used before.

Example: recently I was curious about cross-platform UI development so I used ChatGPT for research into different frameworks and made several apps in Java and .Net. Not being an engineer who's built many GUIs before, ChatGPT was amazingly useful for this and help speed my progress. Does this make me a terrible engineer?

some engineers != all engineers, that's classic unrepresentative sample. nice it helps you, hope you won't forget how to code in future, or you will be handicapped in case of openapi outage.

Did you suddenly become defensive?
