@skyfire747 @nomenloony The problem with AI is you don’t know when it’s wrong.

My favorite quote about LLMs is that they are extremely effective for people who already are domain experts on the topic

The UX fail of the century is for every one of these companies to not append “teach me how I would verify this is true?” to every single prompt.

The skill it takes to use the tech is higher than the avg user is going to invest. Every single maker of chatbots has ignored this from day one.

Domain expert here: they aren't extremely effective for me in my field (programming) because to tell an LLM precisely enough what to do, I'd have to use a verbose English description, and I've already constructed the solution in my head in a more structural form that isn't words. Turning it back into words to tell an LLM what code to generate is a step backwards.

@petealexharris to point out, this is exactly the plot of _Danny Dunn And The Homework Machine_ (1958), in which Danny gets access to a new and powerful minicomputer and he and his gang of nerds try to use it to do their homework for them.
