its shocking people don't realize you're being ironic

  I realize they’re being ironic, it’s just a poor contribution to an otherwise productive conversation.

  AI cannot fail, it can only be failed

    My current favorite in that area ( because I saw it in the wild ) is: "Make it better" with no additional or reasonable previous explanation of what better might mean. "AI will figure it out" not for pattern extraction, but for a full blown analysis with equally generic prompt all confidently stated by an executive telling people working it how it works

      If you talk to it like a programmer talks to a computer, it works a lot better. So the question remains if non-programmers will adapt, the LLMs will accept wider range of input styles, or .. its just another abstraction layer for devs to use. I've observed this in the wild where someone is iterating with an LLM and giving it only negative feedback. For example responding to edits with "don't make it blue" rather than "keep the existing button shape, and change the color back to green". The LLM doesn't really come back the way a human would and say "so what color do you want?".. it just, guesses. Now abstract that to more complex tasks.

        I hear ya. I actually started a small group at work trying to help non-tech people adopt better postures, because company rolled it out to everyone ( in a typical corporate fashion mind ) without any real help beyond 'well, try it'. It no wonder we get interesting assertions from our executives, who, seemingly, barely spent any time with it.
