The cognitive dissonance between 'Your #genAI is smarter than a roomful of PhDs' and 'Your AI is like a junior developer so you have to treat it like a n00b' is just... painful.

It is _so_ unlike a junior developer I don't even know where to start.

Oh wait, yes I do, I feel a podcast coming on. And possibly a blog post. And maybe even a talk. And it isn't what you think.

Get me! I seem to be pretty riled up about this one.

@tastapod It kind of reminds me of talking to my dad, in the early stages of his Altzheimers. As long as the context was small enough, and recent enough, he grasped ideas and could hang on, but nothing ever wrote to the hard-disk, so suddenly it was all gone and you start from nothing again.

@rollbear @tastapod this is the sadest and most true metaphor I read so far

@xandor9 @tastapod I should add that when the context was indeed small enough and recent enough, he could add very valuable insights from his long experience.

Yes, it is very sad. And it feels so tragically familiar.

@rollbear @tastapod it was similar for my grandmother but the "context" had to be smaller and smaller way too fast
