We've been in that era for at least two decades now. We just only now invented the steam engine.

At least one such artifact of craft and beauty already literally crashed two airplanes. Bad engineering is possible with and without LLMs.

Yeah it’s interesting to see if blaming LLMs becomes as acceptable as “caused by a technical fault” to deflect responsibility from what is a programmer’s output.

Perhaps that’s what lead to a decline in accountability and quality.

There's a buge difference between possible and likely.

Maybe I'm pessimistic but I at least feel like there's a world of difference between a practice that encourages bugs and one that allows them through when there is negligence. The accountability problem needs to be addressed before we say it's like self driving cars outperforming humans. On a errors per line basis, I don't think LLMs are on par with humans yet

> Bad engineering is possible with and without LLMs

That's obvious. It's a matter of which makes it more likely
