I have gone back and forth on a similar sentiment a few times. I settled on this: the only responsible use of LLMs is to fill in gaps.
It's fine as a search tool or autocomplete. It can be okay to generate code if you didn't know how else to get started, or you've already limited the damage it would do by your own design.
People who overuse LLMs are usually trying to compensate for their lack of experience, structure in their work, or dysfunctional teams. Anyone trying to get hired should recognize it as a new red flag attempting to cover up the old red flags.
These days it seems that just having AI dom SOMETHING is the goal, no one cares about what it does, or what kind of quality it runs.
Its basically just a weird limbo thing that runs and you dont care how bad it is, not even considering what bugs it has. Outout is usually only glanced over.
