That’s an odd flex to roll with for someone who has long been a member of a community of technology enthusiasts, but you be you.
LLMs are tools, not religions. They don’t need to be elevated to a dogmatic level.

All of my trades are likewise threatened, but I've found various AI options to be useful augments or interesting toys. Things like having ChatGPT check if a particular game already exists, or analysing cost/effort of lining a shed with gyprock vs ply, or analysing a chicken orchard with steel or timber, or instantly culling lists of extraneous options, or summarising someone's public writings on a particular topic, name ideas in various languages. If you have an experience eye to review suggestions, it's fantastic. Or having CoPilot/similar quickly juicing up a web page - something I could do manually, but would rather save time. Or learning how to build a game in a different language.
These are very different propositions.
You probably already use various code automation tools in your work. At the lower end, Copilot is exactly that, just a bit smarter.
You write "const [getFoo, set" and it autocompletes "Foo] = useState(". Who wouldn't want that?
It's entirely within your control how far you stray into adopting code that you don't thoroughly understand or haven't thoroughly vetted.
Do you have any suggestions for a linux-based, qt-tolerant, LLM-integrated IDE? I’d love to try one.
