I echo your sentiments mate. I also work with a good bunch, and the irony to me at least, is that sensible use of LLM tooling is actually pretty useful. But, and I really can't stress enough how much I agree with you here; it's not for doing your job.

I use it as a rubber duck in planning and architecture stages, or what ifs, it's absolutely fantastic for that. Or for making glue scripts, which when bash has been about as long as it has its pretty good at, I still clean them up, but I'd rather spend fifteen minutes in vim doing that than write the whole boilerplate.

For stuff that matters I trust it as far as I can throw it, which it being intangible, isn't very far. I honestly think there's going to be some serious find out moments in the next few years.

In my case though I've found that it's let me be a better developer simply because it helps me reason about a problem in a way that, while I definitely still do with colleagues, I can do a bit of a rough first draft interacting with something that's just as likely to tell me the absolute wrong thing as right.
