I don't give two Fs on how much effort was put into X for me to use it, as long as X is useful to me. And someone could have gone to great lengths to have written something and it can be still absolutely terrible.And as a person is still giving prompts, the core concept is still being directed by a human.As for people making bad decisions... People aren't supposed to drink (a lot of) alcohol and drive, but it still happens and every day people still kill other people or themselves due to that behavior. People do stupid stuff. Companies are run by people.There are many, many managers that think they know more then they actually do and are encouraged to seem to know more then they actually do. So when some manager says: "We're replacing these X amount of people with AI!" due to some slick corporate presentation where everything worked perfectly, without proper internal testing... We have the current situation where half-arsed implementations are being used in production. This is not just with AI/LLM implementations, this is just with about any IT/automation system in existence and that's been happening for decades. Even sales people from Microsoft have been caught straight up lying to their customers when those customers actually do some proper testing themselves.In my IT job I actually use very little to no AI/LLM, because many companies do not have had their legal departments setup proper internal guidelines on what can and cannot be used. For many that means they're free to use what they want unhindered, for me that's a reason not to use anything until it's been properly looked at by the legal team. That means that as a freelancer, I've only used it when not working for another company (which isn't much). I've mostly been using it for hobby related projects and when you want good quality results, you often have to pay for it and often not that cheap. So it's not some magical wand that solves all your problems.</blockquote>
