Yes I get what your saying, but in this analogy the screws are destroying the planet, and also hallucinate enough to be completely untrustworthy as fastenings.

I agree. The issue is people are not comparing this to a manual lookup. they are comparing it to another person who is just as likely to hallucinate/misremember things.

All sorts of actual devs also use AI tools to help them out. A good exame is ThePrimeagen who uses copilot
