Certified AI hater who decided to skip being a junior in the "everyone use LLMs" era and switch industries. I share your thoughts exactly, including the conditions you would need to be willing to use it. The nondeterminism of it all is what gets to me even if it had no ethical problems.
Literally me, I was fortunate enough to have past experience that let me find pretty gainful employment. It's a shame, I really like programming for the craft and was enjoying my time in tech until LLMs came along.
Ironically I didn't want to babysit a potentially world-ending, should-be-regulated technology so I just went back to babysitting another potentially world-ending, actually regulated technology.
Pays better at least.
Yeah i cant trust a tool thats a coinflip, unless im making a coinflip machine.
