These studies miss a huge point, which is: working with automation outside of programming is tedious, frustrating, and soul crushing. I see it already with some non technical clients. I have notice a terrible trend of people just offloading everything to agents or prompting even the simplest interaction with other humans. Let me tell you, it’s fucking dire.

Inside can be as well. Please manually review these 5000 lines of slop I generated while watching YouTube and verify the unreadable readme due to all the bloat and icons is correct with the code. If that is not soul crushing I would not know what is.

  Yesterday a fellow agency who’s sharing a client with me proceeded to send me a roughly 1000-thousand words LLM-generated message on slack explaining a strange behavior on a newsletter flow that did the following: - explained back to me the original request I had filed with details - assumed the request was about something it was not - didn’t reply to my question - had no actionable element whatsoever - repeated all of the above twice with different words. This is a senior person running a marketing agency. The absurdity here is that I have a high cost per hour that falls back onto our shared client. Who I will now have to brief about how I spent about 2 hours due to this comms back and forth and deciphering LLM-novels on a problem that could have been solved in a 30min slot if the agency only took 5 minutes to read, understand and use their brain. The added time was for me to basically go back to my comms, understand if I had communicated poorly (I asked a non-tech third party: they got it in 3 minutes), and reassess everything twice. Result: two hours to do something that amounted to changing a link behavior.
