| >Am I using the tools wrong or are others finding the same thing? Like any new tool, there is a learning curve. The Curve is rather steep right now with the horizon changing to quickly. The right tool also matters a great deal; right now you can run a model at home on 32gb vram that's objectively better than gpt 3.5 from 2023 or grok 2. >lus, the time I supposedly save building things gets eaten up debugging, correcting, improving the AI-generated slop. Those complaining about ai slop are almost certainly complaining about lack of prompt engineering skills. Let me also explain the proper evolution here. In 2021, you would go to stackoverflow, copy some of your code or ask a question and hopefully someone helped you sometime. Then you'd get the help and probably paste their code in. In 2024, you would go to AI, copy some of your code, ask a question and the AI responds quickly. The solution might be bad, buggy, and so you reprompt because your first prompt wasnt engineered well. You finally get good code and copy and paste. In 2025, why all this copy and paste? Why not use agentic where it does the copy and paste for you. It knows what to read, and what to do. Also 2025, what if you have AI also orchestrating 1 level higher and verifying that it itself is doing a good job. |
If you were the type that would just copy paste whatever came up first, then yeah its just quicker to do it that way.
