Yeah my thoughts as well essentially.

Even if I wouldn't use it to write actual code, the value "now review this" currently brings is really quite large. It finds real issues to straight up bugs in any decently sized codebase which has only been reviewed by a couple of people. It's humbling at times.

Still not a fan of vibe coding or doing ten tasks in parallel or generally overly relying on these tools

Me neither and I probably never will be. It also just doesn't match how I usually write code. For anything which matters I'm a 'one statement at a time and consider all possible consequences' type of person.

I guess you can find sane reasons not to use LLMs outside the purely technical realm when you consider the economics and ethics of how the sausage is made...

It's definitely a 'pick your battles' kind of thing.
