@eschaton I think it's fine for you to not use LLMs and not want to, but I also think it's fine for people to use technology to explore technology in ways that you wouldn't and I want those people to come in and have a seat too.
You can kick those people out of your club if you want, but they're welcome in mine. What you can't do - IMO - is kick them out of our shared hobby.

@peterb I don’t want slopmongers anywhere near me, their presence is actively harmful. They’re not using LLMs to “explore technology,” they’re using LLMs so they can say they’ve “done a thing” without actually doing the thing. They wind up sucking all the oxygen out. It’s the same problem as the webshits who jumped into mobile and then desktop development, and immediately turned it into giant steaming piles of JavaScript and HTML. Things would be better if they had been run off.
