> You try drawing a picture, and it sucks. You try playing the guitar, and you can't even get simple notes right. > up until now, you had no choice and to keep making crappy pictures and playing crappy songs until you actually start to develop a taste for the effort, and a few years later you find yourself actually pretty darn competent at the thing. That's a pretty virtuous cycle. https://www.deviantart.com/scotchi/art/keep-tryin-690533685 https://www.deviantart.com/scotchi/art/keep-tryin-690533685 Exactly. Only putting the work is going to get anyone places. And yes it takes _time_, like, tons, and there's no shortcut. And I can explain in excruciating detail how to do an ollie or a kickflip even and from a physics point of view you would totally get it but to land the damn thing you simply have to put a shitload of time on the board and fail over and over and over again. We come from a place where we've been trained as engineers or whatever to do this or that and - somewhat - critically think about things. Instead picture yourself in the shoes of a beginner: how would you, a beginner who has not built their own mental model of discipline $foo, even begin to be critical of AI output? But we're being advertised magic powder and sweating overalls and whathaveyou that makes you lose weight a) instantly† and b) without going to the gym and well putting in the effort††. LLMs are the speed diet of the mind. † comparatively †† not that putting any arbitrary amount of effort is going to get you places, there _is_ a thing such as wasteful effort; but NOT putting the effort is a solid guarantee that you won't.
