I actually have zero clue what Sorcerer's apprentice is, or what you're getting at. I never said that it isn't useful for dumb tedious tasks that don't require much thought.
I was talking about critical tasks where human nuance is important, just because an LLM can produce a result, does not mean that the result is great. Not everything people work on are "features" delivered via http handlers.
I don't understand this new paradigm where everyone wants to brag about how quick they get X amount of work done. Its the long standing belief of pretty much any quality builder that quick != quality, and quick usually isn't necessary. I'm glad your KPIs are great though and your product is getting 2 months of features every two days... The world needs this!
- wdaher 8mo agoThe Sorcerer's Apprentice is a poem by Goethe, or more famously, a sequence from the Disney movie "Fantasia", which you can see here: https://video.disney.com/watch/sorcerer-s-apprentice-fantasia-4ea9ebc01a74ea59a5867853 https://video.disney.com/watch/sorcerer-s-apprentice-fantasi... The short summary of it is: the sorcerer's apprentice (Mickey) uses magic to get a broom to fetch water for him, and then the situation gets out of control as the broom continues to get water, and he has no idea how to stop it. (It's a cautionary tale about the danger of playing with forces you don't really understand/"be careful what you wish for".)
