This is not how it works. I am only punching wind because your arguments are as solid as air.

Comparing an LLM to a Junior Dev is like comparing a Secretary to an Answering Machine - both can technically answer calls, so they must be somewhat similar? What a load of hot, steaming bullshit.

> No one is claiming A = C, so don't keep punching the wind. They are claiming A ~= C.

And I am claiming that A != C. I was not even arguing against they are equal, I am arguing against them being similar in any way.

I maintain what I said before, I sincerely doubt the competence and experience in real life professional setting of anyone claiming LLMs are in anyway remotely similar to junior devs

The number of secretaries declines after answering machines became more prevalent.

You can keep throwing ad hominin if you think it's helping change reality. I wish we weren't headed this way, I really do, but we are. So we might as well confront reality. Catch you in 3 years when whatever happens - happens.

I wish I had 1 euro for whenever crypto shills told me those exact words regarding the inevitably of cryptocurrency replacing actual currency.

Note that I said 1 euro and not 1 of some shitcoint.
