I'm curious what the HN community thinks. That's why I asked. I'm not sure the assumptions behind your comment "if you plan to stay in tech..." In any case, I'm a big fan of prompt engineering. A few days ago, I played around with prompt eng techniques to nudge ChatGPT to solve a math puzzle.

The "Do you think $foo is overhyped?" type questions seem like passive-aggressive complaining to me. Same with "Do you think $this_community talks about $thing too much?" Perhaps I misinterpreted your intent. It might have been helpful to provide more context upfront to better understand your perspective. My assumption there was that each new major tech landmark comes with the same question (eg. virtualization, social media, crypto, generative AI, and the Internet itself). I couldn't figure out a way to word it without sounding saucy. I don't see the usefulness of the question when it's the sort of technology that's going to move forward and evolve, regardless of what anyone things. I suppose we can steer it with questions to some extent, but the questions should feel constructive. Let's try again: 1. What are your thoughts on AI agents? 2. Have you seen or gotten access to the new OpenAI voice conversations beta? If so, how does this change your perspective? It changed mine considerably. > In case you're interested: https://www.sabrina.dev/p/chatgpt-math-riddle I am interested! You've got some other good posts on your blog, as well. Subscribed via RSS.

I guess I'd further state that not only are AI agents never going away, they will evolve forms in awe-inducing ways that are obvious to most of us: humanoid forms and enough intelligence that humans will form long-lasting intimate relationships with them (for better or worse).
