I personally don’t agree with “LLMs are just a tool” but I’m honestly impressed by the author’s description of LLM usage and taking the responsibility for the code. IMHO, without having looked at the code base itself, this sounds like a pretty healthy way to approach LLM usage!
"I personally don’t agree with “LLMs are just a tool”"
Then what are they?
I’ve observed that people saying “LLMs are just a tool” usually compare them to language server implementations, compilers, and more. I disagree with this view because the tools they’re compared to are usually deterministic in the sense of they’re not just a blackbox that sometimes answers one way, sometimes another depending on whether the API provider changes the model weights, the temperature, etc.
Tool users.
well played, hats off! :D
They're a new category of thing. They aren't really "just an" anything.
When the wheel was invented cavemen probably said "it's just a stone".
