The thing with LLMs is that they learn from existing tech and use cases. My work is niche enough that LLMs are unable to make meaningful contributions on the code side. However your assessment is true where an overzealous junior dev can make a lot of shit stuff faster because they don't really understand the code the LLM spits out.
As for myself, I mostly use it to help breakdown requirements so I can better work thru it, help me think up edge cases for tests, and be an interactive rubber duck when debugging an issue.
Yeah, I totally see that. I want to clarify: It's not that I don't think it's useful at all. It's that our industry has fully internalized venture capital's value system and they're going to use this new tool to slam on the gas as hard as they can, because that's all we ever do. Every single software ecosystem is built around as fast as possible, everything else be damned.
