No, LLMs have not exited for two decades. What a stupid comment. Millions of people are spending thousands of dollars because they're recieving tens of thousands of dollars of value from it.

Of course it's impossible to explain that to thickheaded dinosaurs on HN who think they're better than everyone and god's gift to IQ.



Please read more carefully.The LLM technology exists for at least two decades, well actually even more.You know the technology the LLMs are based on (neural networks, machine learning etc). I am not sure if after smartphones, the LLMs will now further impact intelligence of people like you. And take note: I have been one of the early adopters and I am actually paying for usage. My criticism comes from a realistic assesment of the actual value these tools provide, vs. what the marketing keeps promising (beyond trivial stuff like spinning up simple web apps). Oh by the way, I peeked into your comment history. I see you're one of those non-technical vibe-coder types. Well good luck with that mate and let us know how is your codebase doing in about a year (as someone else already warned you). And if you have any customers, make sure you arrange for a huge insurance coverage, you may need it.

Did you use all of your 1-year-junior-dev experience to come to this comment? Or did you ask gemini to sum it up for you?


I am leaning toward agreeing with your statements, but this is not good etiquette for HN.


And did you use your 25 years of Java experience making $80k fixing waterfalls? lol


Without bad intent, I am not sure I am even able to make sense of your sentence. Honestly it sounds as if you fed my comment into an AI tool and asked for a reply. Here is a tip for the former junior dev turned nascent GenAI-Vibecoding-manager - if you want to attack someone's credibility, especially that of an Internet stranger you are desperately trying to prove wrong, try to use something they said themselves, not something you are assuming about them. Just like I used what you said about yourself in one of your previous posts. Otherwise the same thing will keep happening over and over again and you'll keep guessing, revealing your own weak spots in domains of general knowledge and competence. My second advice to a junior dev would have been to read a book once in a while, but who needs books now that you have a magic machine as your source of truth, right?
