The people who I see who are "getting along just fine" in this current mess are either True Believer™ types, or are semi or fully retired and don't need to care particularly strongly which way any of this goes from an employment perspective (meaning: I know people in this group who refuse to use LLMs and people who have attitudes like the author of this article, with similar levels of experience).

I think on one level you can look at these folks and say "well, they may be able to see more clearly because they aren't so wrapped up in it all" but I've done a lot of self-reflection and I simply don't think this is true.
