Computers are a lever, a force multiplier. If your process is shit, you can shit faster with a computer.

LLMs are another force multiplier. If your computerized process is a disaster … well, you said it and you’re right.

When I was young, the quote was still:

  To err is human, to really foul things up requires a computer.

That quote was on my mind as I wrote that message. I think I saw it as a child but some time after I had begun writing BASIC code. It took a moment’s thought at the time, but I soon came to realize its truth.
