I've published a new blog post: "Human Creations", on the difference in content generation by LLMs, and the creation of text, art and code by humans.

Artist Sam Lavigne created ‘Slow LLM’ to make people question their dependence on tools like Claude and ChatGPT. Or at least, make them super annoying to use.

I feel we've reached a point where many if not most of the organizations we rely on are being overrun by toddlers.

We're constantly bring sold the belief that a chatbot is a viable substitute for thinking, skill, and hard work, of expertise and competence.

I've had conversations with people about AI agents and coding, how people want to have made something they've imagined without having to do the work of actually learning, designing and building. It's like a toddler demanding to be allowed to drive the fire truck without knowing how to drive, not being able to reach the pedals, and not knowing anything about fighting fires.

The want to be what they imagine a firefighter is from the perspective of a toddler. They don't know, they don't care, they just want to be in that truck and make the lights and sirens go.

That outlook is fine for a toddler, it's not acceptable for a grown adult drawing a paycheck.
