This sums up the inherent friction between hype and reality really well.

CEOs and hype men want you to believe that LLMs can replace everyone. In 6 months you can give them the keys to the kingdom and they'll do a better job running your company then you did. No more devs. No more QA. No more pesky employees who needs crazy stuff like sleep, and food, and time off to be a human.

Then of course we run face first into reality. You give the tool to an idiot (or a generally well meaning person not paying enough attention) and you end up with 2k PRs that are batshit insane, production data based deleted, malicious code downloaded and executed on just machines, email archives deleted, and entire production infrastructure systems blown away. Then the hype men come back around and go "well yeah, it's not the tools fault, you still need an expert at the wheel, even though you were told you don't".

LLMs can do amazing things, and I think there's a lot of opportunities to improve software products if used correctly, but reality does not line up with the hype, and it never will
