LLM seem magic if you don't have expertise in an area. Middle management and above don't have any technical expertise in their domain do they love the 40% (a bit worse than the 80-20 rule) that LLM enable.
Report: "Project is delayed because we are fixing a deadlock issue" Mgmt to LLM: "My project is delayed because of deadlock issue. What should I do?" LLM: "Oxidise your codebase and use Rust" Mgmt to team: "We should stop writing in C++ and use Rust 100%" Le Team has no rust experience and a 15 year old codebase in C++
The “sycophantic overconfident oracle” tone the biggest companies deliberately give LLMs has to be one of the most problematic single decisions of the century.
Multi-turn, decoder-only LLMs are neat tools in the ML toolbox, but oracles are not what they are.
But now that it’s stuck, that perception is going to fuck shit up in management hierarchies forever.
