👋 how are you seeing infra tooling change due to advances in generative AI/LLMs?

totally zoned out - sorry the late-late reply. I don't think GenAI/LLMs will have a significant impact in the infra tooling space - we don't use LLMs other than what they were designed for - a language model (parsing intent from language). They seem to excel in solving other problems when the data is available online and easy/straightforward to synthesize with a degree of generalization/hand waviness.

When it comes to code however, if a certain use-case isn't popular online, or has changed, LLMs , GPT4 included, will produce incorrect results - and the minute you start building larger ideas, synthesizing the building blocks appears to break down very quickly
