Except that for railroads I don't need people to convince me about how/when/why it can be useful.

Railroads came out to solve an issue we had (and then it evolved). LLMs are not giving us any new solution, just different speed (better) and quality (worse) to solve things we co&ld already solve.

It's basically the same concept as fast fashion. Worse quality, more speed, possibly more economic. You can change your wardrobe possibly every year, but you will never wear good quality clothes.

Now you can write code at impressive speed, but it is worse in quality, and you need to review it more often than "normal" code.

AI code should always be fully reviewed and put into the correct context to make it useful, otherwise long term problems will void short term benefits

Nobody convinced me AI was useful. At this point, nobody could convince me it wasn't - it's like going from whittling stuff out of wood to having a kitted-out fully-manned machine shop.

It's clear from your words you lack experience and skill in this area - you've only got opinions.

My "only" experience happen to be coding 5 days a week with agentic AI, plus reviews.

Only because I do not share your point of view it doesn't mean I lack experience or skills.

You are pretty fast at jumping at conclusions.

		I guess we might actually have similar feelings, except, you say "only speed", and "only economics". Only time and only money. As if those aren't two of the most valuable currencies on earth.

		> You are pretty fast at jumping at conclusions. Yeah, because I can see some of my own thoughts and experience from a long time ago in your words, and my experience tells me loud and clear that they're outdated and wrong.
