A classic. LLMs can help if you know what you’re doing on your own, at the cost of having to burn tokens while basically having to guide it to the result you need. The second you use it for something you’re not an expert in, you enter pure slop territory. The fact is that LLMs are constantly hallucinating but with guardrails that allow them to sometimes hallucinate the correct result.
And yes, I’m in tech and have experience. The only way it’s going to “take” my job is if it crashes the entire economy because the bubble pops or an executive needs to pump some stock from braindead morons on wall street.
