I heard an anecdote. Guy spent several days trying to convince his AI agent to build a feature. Kept saying it was crazy complicated, would take weeks.

Finally he convinced it to try. It one shotted it in 30 seconds.

Turns out the agents' idea of what is hard and easy also comes from Common Crawl.

Why on earth would you spend any time at all convincing an agent of anything? You say "just do it" and off it goes.

Ya, but “doit” is 2x more efficient

Uh Claude tries real hard to dodge work. Talks about how it’s really hard 10 PRs. Finally convince it to do as 1. It stops 10% through and says ok done with PR 1, we can work on the last 9 tomorrow. Ugh.

Maybe we shouldn't have AI mimic humans too closely?

You need to assert dominance.
