AI is a trap too sweet to ignore. Its ruining young folks future by removing the hard effort part of learning, which then builds more resistant character which is more able to wade through daily crap of our adult lives. Some sort of patience with life, its not a skill that comes on its own.

And clearly its (almost) everywhere, including companies who should do and know better. AI will make humanity more lazy seems to be the conclusion.

Well fear not, those few who will not be lured by it will stand tall and far apart, and can achieve a lot more professionally and personally in crowds utterly reliant on their tiny little llm helpers. We all choose daily how our lives will look like from now on.

Indeed. This is something that isn’t said a lot.

A person who has been in an industry for 10+ years will be fine from exposure to LLM’s. Because they already built the discipline. Frankly if you’re an expert I don’t see where the value of an LLM fits.

People keep talking about productivity increases. But that just speaks to the quantity. What about the quality?

It’s tiresome to see people who just don’t get this.

Not to mention lacking the requisite knowledge whether the information is legitimate or not.

I stay slightly above my knowledge. I can ask it about concurrency patterns in Go because I can spot the bs.

But quantum physics or molecular biology? It could tell me anything that "sounds" reasonable but is completely wrong and I wouldn't know.
