Yawn. Just a post++ about white-horse attitudes regarding "muh expertise". And yet the top of the top experts in their fields (Terrence Tao, Karpathy, hell even Linus) are finding ways to make them useful for them. That's the crux imo. If you can't find a way to make these tools useful for you, you are the problem. Not the LLMs. THere's something there, even if currently not much, but there's something there for everyone at this point.

"Motor vehicles aren't going away any time soon. It might become prohibitively expensive for some individuals but they're here to stay. It's worth trying to get into car ownership early despite your bicycle being much cheaper, healthier, and better for your local community."

You omitted the part where he said why it is for AI. Tao doesn't use React AFAIK
