I think annecdotally this is true, I've definitely seen worse, but older technologies be chosen on the basis of LLM's knowing more about them.

That said, I also think it's a bad choice, and here's some good news on that front- you can make good choices which will put you and your project/company ahead of many projects/companies making bad choices!

I don't think the issue is that specific to LLMs- people have been choosing React and similar technologies "because it's easy to find developers" for ages.

It's definitely a shame to see people make poor design decisions for new reasons, but I think poor design decisions for dumb reasons are gonna outlive LLMs by some way.
