I am a #smolweb advocate and, sometimes, I use LLMs.
I spend a lot of time thinking about simplicity. Fewer dependencies, lighter pages, tools that do one thing well. So yes, it might look strange that I also spend time talking to large language models. Let me explain where I draw the line, and why I think the contradiction is smaller than it appears...
In this blog post
Judging someone on a single tool without knowing the rest is a bit hasty.
Yes, I sometimes use LLMs. But I have never taken a plane, I travel by train, I work from home, I grow some of my own fruit and vegetables and I have solar panels on the roof.
I am not saying I am beyond criticism. I am saying one tool does not define a person.
But everyone is free to have their own opinions. :-)

@adele LLM is only tool. Without you mind it is only dead code.
If it helps you evaluate your original ideas, I have no problem using applied statistical tools.
So I'm OK with you. 
@adele I'm sorry for you. I thought you were an artisan, like me...
@adele short and to the point ,that's why I like reading you!
thank you @0ct0pu5 :-)
@adele
I don't see anything objectionable in your blog post and your writings usually look deeply wise. So, I would certainly not be wary about anything coming from you.
The big questions and fears come from somewhere else. You've probably read Ubuntu is about to start "landing AI features" in their system : https://masto.ai/@phoronix/116476120066302561.
You just wonder what that means because the statement is so obscured and ambiguous : shall we have components working automatically on AI inside the system and at which level ? Shall we have several clearly mentioned AI tools in the system ? Shall they produce parts of their code with AI ?
Shall the Ubuntu-based distributions be able to erase those dubious parts in their systems ?
I feel very angry and anxious about that.
