When hammers were invented, people were like, “Cool! So much easier and faster than screwing! And even cheaper!”
And they threw away their screwdrivers and happily hammered their screws in, telling each other how much better things had become.
This is a story about AI.
Throwing away effective tools and replacing them with generic LLMs, because of hype. Eg. throwing away physical customer support and replacing people with a chatbot.
Not using (online) dictionaries but asking an LLM for every word.
Using LLMs to parse static stuff (eg. parse json and extract vars). Yes, some people do that.
