I suspect LLMs are going to be used as convenient scapegoats for the foreseeable future. "Boss, I didn't fuck up, Claude did."

"And who used Claude on it? You did? Well..."

Might be worse.

1. Boss orders dev to use Claude for everything. Claims proudly "we're AI-native", "we're using an AI factory". Disincentivizes any kind of human review.

2. Dev eventually gives in.

3. Claude makes mistakes.

4. Dev gets blamed, because they're the "human [fuse] in the loop".

"A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision." - IBM slide deck, 1979

Scratch the "management" and replace it with "critical" and we probably have a near universal statement (maybe also add that no sole person should make such decisions).
