Imagine being so bad at stuff that using an LLM makes you better.

And also, imagine being bad at a task and choosing an LLM to do it for you, acquiring a dependency for life, instead of putting in the time and effort to learn how to do it, *when you have the time to do so*, like students do.
@david_chisnall Just dropped that quote into my company's #ai-fanboy slack channel. Boy, am I gonna get it!
It'll surely be some variants on "I Find Your Lack of Faith Disturbing"
@david_chisnall "Aspire to be Average"
@david_chisnall imagine not being able to be an expert in everything but being asked to do a 100 jobs a day.
I'm hating on what llm mean but maybe pont the critique at the systems and the owners of the systems.
Don't blame the workers for having 100 jobs and only knowing how to do one of them right.
@david_chisnall it's a big bell curve of beigification
@david_chisnall Oof. I'll remember this one for later use.
@david_chisnall I already feel quite unproductive, but every time I try adding LLM based Systems into my Workflow I manage to get less done than before.
@david_chisnall imagine that your job is so unimportant that llm results are acceptable
@david_chisnall Imagine being so slow at walking that a car makes you faster 😉
@hfalcke @david_chisnall I read somewhere that the average speed of a moving vehicle in Manhattan is approximately walking pace
I wouldn't be at all surprised. In Cambridge (which has a tiny fraction of the population density of Manhattan), driving is usually faster than walking and slower than cycling (which doesn't stop cars dangerously overtaking bicycles and then pulling in sharply in front of them so that they can stop at traffic lights sooner).
@david_chisnall Shhhhh - you'll be swamped with tech-bros looking for quotes
@david_chisnall Imagine... being lucky enough to live in the era of Coding AI... to have the resources to use it to do many things you wanted to do, but couldn't before... but... you can't figure out how to leverage it in a way compatible with your ego.
