For what it's worth, I basically accept the premise of the GP comment, in the same way that I would accept a statement that "loggers who don't use a chainsaw will be put out of business". Sure, fine, whatever.

I still think the tone is silly and polarizing, particularly when it's replying to a comment where I am very clearly not arguing against use of the tools.

It assumes the result though. These comments presuppose that LLMs are universally good and useful and positive when that is the very argument that is being debated, and then uses the presupposition to belittle the other side of the debate.

They can be good but people spend more time fighting them and throwing up imaginary walls and defending their skillset rather than actually learning how to use these tools to be successful.

Again, you're assuming they are required to be successful and those who don't use them won't be. That is precisely what is up for debate right now so you're just begging the question while belittling any opposition (imaginary walls).

And why shouldn't anyone defend their skill set?

Edit: I went through your recent comment history and it turns out you're just not the type of person I enjoy interacting with. You seem to take a good amount of joy in putting down others who disagree with you, or fantasizing about their financial ruin.
