I've found that now that I see LLM's less as thinking and more as stochiastic parrot I get a lot less use from them because I give 3-5 turns at most versus 10 turns.
- NemoNobody 3y agoWell, maybe a balance between a stoic parrot and a "thinking machine" might be the best approach. You know, everything in moderation and what not.
- ParetoOptimal 3y agoYes, ideally. The problem for me is it used to be an addition to my energy and confidence, but when you "take the magic out of it" it doesn't help out there so much. In antirez's blog he mentioned how it made things "not worth it, worth it" and I agreed, but that happens much less often if you think an LLM helping you is a fluke.
