This is a framing issue that's keeping you from doing clearer thinking, faster. LLMs, especially in agentic configurations, are a cognitive tool. Just because many people use a tool unskillfully doesn't mean that tool is useless.
>If anyone gives me an opinion from an AI, they disrespect me and themselves to a point they are dead to me in an engineering capacity.
Hmmm...
> Once someone outsources their brain they are unlikely to keep learning or evolving
Agreed. But there are many ways in which people can "outsource their brains". LLMs are one way. Dogmas are another.
>If this pisses you off, ask yourself why.
It would definitely piss me off to see an engineering leader fail to grasp the obvious due to some poorly reasoned beliefs.
