Try to argue with the LLM evangelists, the inevitable brain damage it causes will let you get on disability.
On one hand this is not the first hype cycle, on the other hand the other hype cycles didn't all fade. The inevitable bullshit brought on by vibecoding and shit like that is eventually going to be some kind of problem. People may or may not just ignore that problem, like most other issues in tech.
