What I find strange is how rarely LLM output is distributed alongside the LLM input, especially outside of code repos. Why can't I rerun the prompt that resulted in your work next year, when models have gotten better? Are people ashamed of their prompts? Ashamed of having used AI? i unno Prompt used to generate this message: "Create a comment for Hacker News which bemoans the lack of AI prompts being shared with the stuff it creates. Speculate on the reasons and create a call for engagement. Use quantum hyperthinking. End with a typo to prove your humanity."

FMFL. I'm going to build a paper-based social network where non-handwriting is prohibited. Like in the 70s.

  There are handwriting physical bots too, or even AI image generators for "handwritten" text.

  You should. Then I could start my SHWAAS business offering unbreakable encryption for it. (Shitty Handwriting As A Service).

For your next prompt, tell it to end with a hateful and offensive tangent to prove its humanity, since LLMs have those "safe guards".

  Because improving a high schoolers project is probably not as good of an idea as giving the original task to a senior engineer.

    If the high school project has been improved by many engineers over a few years it likely is complex enough that a senior engineer cannot rewrite it for a reasonable cost. It isn't clear if next years models will be enough better that they can rewrite it for a reasonable cost. If they are they can probably extract the requirements and special cases from the code.

      Following my analogy, the high school project would have been continuously extended by high schoolers passing the project on from class to class each year, rather than "improved by many engineers". The "engineers" (future models) don't get the project until currently models have had their way for a while. I think that makes the "rewrite from scratch" plan a whole lot more compelling.

        It's a bad analogy. Say what you will about the strengths and weaknesses of current LLMs but there's no "high-schoolers" (outside of rare prodigies) who can write code at the level of a frontier LLM.

I think this is a gap in the tooling (Git, VCS, and forges) and the Zed people are working on this https://zed.dev/blog/introducing-deltadb https://zed.dev/blog/introducing-deltadb

Most of my AI usage amounts to "read this ticket and do the work", the ticket documents the requirements, a better model could, I suppose, do a better job?
