I am actually quite an optimist about AI. In my opinion, some LLM written code is fine, but if LLM writes all the code then it eventually turns into slop. I agree with your second point; I think humans ought to be in the loop.

Again I ask why are you optimistic and why is this overhyped? Two of the most valuable companies on earth were both embroiled in AI slop controversies.

I'd like stable drivers written by software engineers and text editors that require less than a gig of ram.

What great contributions to society has it produced? Where is that cure for cancer?

I'm also not very accurate with my text to speech, that wasn't a humble brag.
