It is funny how we are so willing to iterate on a prompt for ten minutes but we get annoyed when we have to repeat ourselves to a person. I think we could all benefit from not taking things so personally at work.

The AI doesn't judge, it doesn't have ego, and generally, if it does poorly, it's more a reflection of the user providing the inputs (giving bad instructions or not enough context).

So in a sense, we are more forgiving of ourselves more than anything.

Eh, sometimes the instructions you need to give are almost the code you need itself, at which point its better to just write the code rather than have it fuck your logic for you.

in fact, in my domain, that's almost always the case. LLM's rarely get it right. Getting something done that would take me a day, takes a day with an LLM, only now I don't fully understand what was written, so no real value add, just loss.

It sure can be nice for solved problems and boilerplate tho.

This entire article is just meaningless vibes of one guy who sells AI stuff.

Also, what are the "rule of three" and constructions of the form "no X, no Y, just Z" indicative of?

Bruh either had help, or he's the most trite writer ever.

I don't find the conclusions plausible. It's completely ignoring that AI is a machine and not in our social hierarchy, while humans are, and we have a large section of wetware devoted to constantly judging the social hierarchy and rules.

At least personally this was obvious to me years before AI was around. Whenever we had clear data that came to an obvious conclusion, I found that it didn't matter if _I_ said the conclusion, regardless of if the data was included. I got a lot more leeway by simply presenting the data to represent my conclusion and let my boss come to it.

In the first situation the conclusion was now _my_ opinion and everyone's feelings got involved. In the second the magic conch(usually a spreadsheet) said the opinion so no feelings were triggered.
