I'm convinced it's not the results that are different, it's the expectations.

The SVP of IT for my company is 100% in on AI. He talks about how great it is all the time. I just recently worked on a legacy project in PHP he build years ago, and now I know his bar for what quality code looks like is extremely low...

I use LLMs daily to help with my work, but I tweak the output all the time because it doesn't quite get it right.

Bottom line, if your code is below average AI code will look great.

That seems to be the pitch too. I now get google ads where they advertise you can ask your phone things about what it sees. All the examples are so trivial, I can’t believe it. How to make a double espresso. What are these clouds called?

That’s being not a complete idiot as a service.

If it was at least how do I start the decalcification process on this machine so it actually realizes it and turns the service light off.
