Sorry, you misunderstood my comment, which was very badly worded.
I meant to imply that you, an experienced developer, didn't get "scammed" by the LLM, and that the difference between you and the dev you mentioned is that you know how to program.
I was trying to make the point that the issue is not the LLM but the developer using it.
And I'm saying that I could have been that developer if I were twenty years younger.
They're not bad developers, they just haven't yet been hurt enough to develop protective mechanisms against scams like these.
They are not the problem. The scammers selling the LLM's as something they're not are.
Ah, gotcha, and I agree
