And it's so noisy. We are already losing bug bounties, it's swamping open source projects in poor quality or even counter productive "work" on github to get recognition, its drowning out the work of creatives, its invading so many aspects of life (education, communication, research, public policy) and its fundamentally a bad tool for so many of those areas.
I recently applied for a job and got some advice from a friend who works HR in a different industry. His advice, see if you can find out which LLM they use and run your application through it. A lot of positions are getting huge numbers of applicants so they are using LLMs to generate the short list for interview, you could have the absolute perfect application but because the LLM doesn't like the way you wrote it you are thrown out of the pool without a human being ever seeing you. It's so insidious, by being "helpful" it reinforces its necessity.
