I keep coming back to the leaded petrol analogy for LLMs and coding

Harms that are manageable when it's only used by a small number of experts become catastrophic pollution when it's used broadly throughout society

If LLMs were only used by a small number of experienced devs working with well-engineered guardrails, we'd have less of a problem

But once they start getting more commonly used, they start to pollute the entire ecosystem and the only way forward is stiff regulation for everybody
