Relatedly, I start to think more and more the AI is great for mediocre stuff. If you just need to do the 1000th website, it can do that. Do you want to build a new framework? Then there will probably be less many useful suggestions. (Still not useless though. I do like it a lot for refactoring while building xrcf.)
EDIT: One reason that lead me to think it's better for mediocre stuff was seeing the Sora model generate videos. Yes it can create semi-novel stuff through combinations of existing stuff, but it can't stick to a coherent "vision" throughout the video. It's not like a movie by a great director like Tarantino where every detail is right and all details point to the same vision. Instead, Sora is just flailing around. I see the same in software. Sometimes the suggestions go towards one style and the next moment into another. I guess AI currently is just way lower in their context length. Tarantino has been refining his style for 30 years now. And always he has been tuning his model towards his vision. AI in comparison seems to always just take everything and turn it into one mediocre blob. It's not useless but currently good to keep in mind I think. That you can only use it to generate mediocre stuff.
