There are concerns regarding the efficacy of large language models (LLMs) for building non-trivial software. Issues such as environmental impact, social and political implications, ecosystem lock-in, and the potential erosion of labor bargaining power contribute to skepticism about their use.

Distinguishing between human-written and AI-generated text remains a contentious issue among tech experts. Large language models (LLMs) operate as advanced statistical models that mimic human language, making their output potentially indistinguishable from human writing in statistical assessments.

AI adoption varies significantly among individuals, with some fully embracing it, others limiting their use, and some avoiding it entirely. A perception exists that once people try AI, they will consistently use it, which is proving to be inaccurate.
