There's also an argument that developers of new software, including libraries, should consider making an earnest attempt to do The Right Thing instead of re-implementing old, flawed designs and APIs for familiarity's sake. We have enough regression to the mean already.

The more LLMs are entrenched and required, the less we're able to do The Right Thing in the future. Time will be frozen, and we'll be stuck with the current mean forever. LLMs are notoriously bad at understanding anything that isn't mappable in some way to pre-existing constructs.
