It reminds me of “magic”. I say “expelliamus” and the wand flies out the other guys hand, not his hat, or wallet or the person behind’s sandwiches.
The details always matter. There is a (fairly) good book series where it turns out we are living in the matrix and someone finds a config file and effectively becomes a Wizard, and of course problems ensue with details (like flying by adjusting one’s position one feet up every second is just vibrating a lot)
I think ultimately AI is “do what I mean” and the only reason it looks like it’s working is because AI has read all the same books as us

Which book series is this?
- 16bitvoid 3mo agoSounds like "Off to be the Wizard". The series is called "Magic 2.0"
- Egrodo 3mo agoFound it (with the help of AI, naturally). Looks like "Wizard 2.0" by Scott Meyer. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18616975-off-to-be-the-wizard https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18616975-off-to-be-the-w...
- novaleaf 3mo agoas others mentioned, it sounds like "Off to Be the Wizard". Unfortunately I wouldn't call it a great series. It starts off strong but drags. IIRC I got through half of the second book before stopping.
