Hello? Do you have a pulse? LLMs accomplish like 90% of everything I do now so I don’t have to do it…

Explain what this code syntax means…

Explain what this function does…

Write a function to do X…

Respond to my teammates in a Jira ticket explaining why it’s a bad idea to create a repo for every dockerfile…

… and the list goes on … like forever



It’s not that the LLM is doing something productive, it’s that you were doing things that were unproductive in the first place, and it’s sad that we live in a society where such things are considered productive (because of course they create monetary value).

As an aside, I sincerely hope our “human” conversations don’t devolve into agents talking to each other. It’s just an insult to humanity.


Exactly what management wants to hear so they can lay off hundreds and push salaries down.
