Well, I did; LLMs are not necessarily intelligent enough to not cause new problems in terms of the solutions they produce. This is a fundamental flaw of LLMs that is covered even by mainstream media, much less the AI Effect as shown by Wikipedia. At worst, they might turn a 0.1x engineer into a 10x one, ie a 1x one, except with no ability to actually solve problems cohesively.
- simonw 2y agoI'm an experienced engineer and I've seen what I estimate to be a 2-5x productivity improvement in the time I spend typing code into my computer from embracing LLM-assisted development. Typing-in-code is only 10% of the work that I do, but this is still a very meaningful improvement for me. I've written a bunch more about my own experiences here: https://simonwillison.net/series/using-llms/ https://simonwillison.net/series/using-llms/ and here: https://simonwillison.net/tags/ai-assisted-programming/ https://simonwillison.net/tags/ai-assisted-programming/
