That is at least somewhat a valid point. Good workers know how to get the best out of their tools. And yet, good tools accommodate how their users work, instead of expecting the user to accommodate how the tool works.
One could also say that programmers were sold a misleading bill of goods about how LLMs would work. From what they were told, they shouldn't have to learn how to get the best out of LLMs - LLMs were AI, on the way to AGI, and would just give you everything you needed from a simple prompt.
- simonw 2y agoYeah, that's one of the biggest misconceptions I've been trying to push back against. LLMs are power-user tools. They're nowhere near as easy to use as they look (or as their marketing would have you believe). Learning to get great results out of them takes a significant amount of work.
