These tools can be great for discovery and speed up one's learning curve but there is no replacement for knowing your tools if you're going to master your craft.
In a way, after you devote many years of your life mastering your toolset, you become a very efficient intelligent machine.
But you do also so make mistakes and you also are told to do things by somebody else who guess what didn't spend their life mastering the skills you mastered (otherwise they wouldn't be paying for your services).
From their point of view, you're also some kind of opaque machine that can be trusted to some extent but must be double-checked too. You also can rat them out if they ask you silly things and you also expect to be treated decently as a human being and that's not something many other humans know how to do well.
Unsurprisingly many people cherish the possibility of having to talk to a non-human entity and let them do some tasks they wouldn't know how to even approach. Especially if this entity can be pestered with questions without ever being annoyed.
It's all about POV
- guappa 3y agoSo far all my interactions with AI in production have involved me trying to figure out the right prompt to be able to talk to a real person who could then actually solve my problem rather than offer me useless text and no concrete action towards solving my issue.
