“There's a fundamental problem with these tools beyond the capacity of any deployment strategy to solve: the tool requires expertise to validate, but its use diminishes expertise and stunts its growth. How does one become an expert? “

This gets to the heart of dilemma, without railing on its users.

I used AI. It worked. I hated it.

I used Claude Code to build a tool I needed. It worked great, but I was miserable. I need to reckon with what it means.

This isn’t exclusive to Ai. Anyone involved in filmmaking and video production or animation will tell you how hard it can be to deal with clients who employ people, but have absolutely no idea of the process.

@blabberlicious that reminds me of the famous cartoon about clients and camera movement.

Making animation for Amazon was such a case in point: All their staff I dealt with were super smart. All office generalists with no particular skills apart from the Bezos business entrepreneurship dogma. Half our time was spent repeatedly explaining each stage of the process to them. Then, as the project went up the approval chain, we'd have to reiterate the same things, again and again, because no one internally had the ability to communicate the process.
Amazon make hideous Ai explainers now.
