I am disappointed in the AI discourse
May 28 2025 Recently, something happened that made me kind of like, break a little bit. I’m still not entirely sure why this whole thing bothers me so much, but here’s a blog post about it.
It’s more that both the pro-AI and anti-AI sides are loudly proclaiming things that are pretty trivially verifiable as not true. LLMs for software development are being oversold by some people who stand to gain a lot of money from them. Anyway, just to be clear, (how many times can you say ‘just to be clear’ in one post, Steve, come on (at what level of nested parentheticals do I implement some sort of interlocutor into my blog like Xe)) I don’t think that if you think LLMs suck at software development, you’re wrong.
