I very much want to include more ai in my workflows. But every time I try it slows me way down. Then when people give examples like yours it feels like we are just doing different tasks all together. I can write the code you mention above much faster than the English to describe it in half a dozen languages. And it will be more precise.
Perhaps the written word just doesn’t describe the phenomenon well. Do you have any goto videos that show no -toy examples of pairing with an ai that you think illustrate your point well?

- kasey_junk 2y agoWhich were all tools I had to learn and slowed me down while I was learning them. So I’m extremely sympathetic to the idea that ai can be a productivity enhancer. But those had obvious benefits that made the learning cost sensible. “I can describe in precise English, a for loop and have the computer write it” flat sounds backwards.
