It's not nitpicking. The nature of the interruption being different is material. I've lost files to automatically answering yes to rm -i y/n confirm. Typing the hostname itself is different enough to get me, at least to stop and go wait, hold on. And snap me out of doing the wrong one. Especially an SSH gateway machine.
I refuse to engage in "LLMs are evil, period" views. That's like walking out into a battlefield with a samurai sword, while your enemy has Gatling guns. You'll be shredded. The pressure to survive means new tools have to be examined and incorporated as and when needed. The resources needed to run a 24B LLM on a gaming GPU are not costing the earth.
It's just the current moral panic. The views aren't even relevant; LLMs will either stick around because they're useful or the industry will collapse if they're not.
And even if people still don't like them, they'll eventually stop caring about hating them.
I could spend 100% doing the work with my own Claude, and 0% reading yours. That's a negative-sum outcome. I do think that the 80%/20% split is better (though anything that is mostly human voice is fine for me).
