A theory I have (sh.itjust.works)

I thought of this recently (anti llm content within)

The reason a lot of companies/people are obsessed with llms and the like, is that it can solve some of their problems (so they think). The thing I noticed, is a LOT of the things they try to force the LLM to fix, could be solved with relatively simple programming.

Things like better searches (seo destroyed this by design, and kagi is about the only usable search engine with easy access), organization (use a database), document management, etc.

People dont fully understand how it all works, so they try to shoehorn the llm to do the work for them (poorly), while learning nothing of value.

I do love the little arduinos and pis, but I can't think of any application I'd need one for.

Also is just kind of a bummer since ai can do all the coding, there's not much purpose in me learning it all from scratch. Back in the day, you HAD to learn that way, and I much prefer that. Everything is much too easy now and I think humanity is going to see the result of that in 15 years with the up and coming generation.
