> There are too many people who need to discover for themselves what the limits of these AI models are when they push them far

Why? Next week a new version of Claude and GPT will come out and the limits will change again. Are you really fully testing every new version of every LLM agant to see where its limits are?

Those of us old enough to have seen this cycle before know its a fools game trying to keep up with development pace in the initial bubble. Its much better to wait for development and progress to start plateuing and then its easier to see the wood for the trees.

Just curious, what have you seen before that was like AI?
ai in the sense of a new and immature techology which is constantly evolving and changing?

How about anything on the web? HTML boon in the 90s. Wordpress and PHP frameworks in the 00's, Javascript frontend shadow doms which require hydration in the 10's, node.js and javascript on the server etc etc.

All techonologies which were not worth jumping in during the initial boom becasue it changed so rapidly and it meant relearning concepts with every new release.

Its the same with ai, some prompt which gave amazing results last year might not now, and you need to be aware of what has changed and the better way to do it now. I prefer to jump in later when things are more mature and I can learn the most stable and liked way of doing something, instead of having to relearn the same thing multiple times as it changes.
