I've been saying this for years - the best way to wrap your head around AI and LLMs are to think about them as "a whole internet wrapped into a single zip archive, with immensely clever solution to query the data". That's it. Once you accept this mental model the implications are staggering. AI is not "thinking", and it doesn't know the answer to your question because it's smart, but because it has been asked thousand of times over the internet, and it simply provides you with an already existing answer. That code it made for you? It already lived somewhere on GitHub. But then you have to ask yourself - if we surrender to the AI, who will produce new content 10-15 years from now? If we all pivot from programming to prompt engineering, who will come up with novel solutions?
