You don't think we're not using "AI" too? We're using these tools, but we can see pretty clearly how they aren't really the boon they are being hyped-up to be.

The LLM is kind of like a dog. I was trying to get my dog to do a sequence of things - pick up the toy we were playing with and bring it over to me. He did it a couple of times, but then after trying to explain what I wanted yet again, he went and picked up a different toy and brought it over. That's almost what I wanted.

Then I realized that matches the experience I've had with various "AI" coding tools.

I have to spend so much time reading and correcting the "AI" generated code, when I could have just coded the same thing myself correctly the first time. And this never stops with the "AI". At least with my dog, he is very food motivated and he learns the tricks like his life depends on it. The LLM, not so much.
