Speak to young folk. My numerous nieces and nephews use ChatGPT all the time and yet they still hate it.
They are contemplating a lifetime of devalued skills, because they can see that prompting a model is an unskilled task.
- jatora 2mo agoI'd suggest that they need better education then. Prompting isn't unskilled. Neither was googling before that. There is critical thinking involved, and the method in which you utilize the outputs that matters as well. Yes skills are going to be devalued, but that isn't happening yet for the vast majority. So its not really apt for them to think this way.

- jatora 2mo agoAh good well thought out points im really learning something
- herewulf 2mo agoThere's at least skill needed to recognize the BS in the answers. I've been prompting a bit on a hobby project that sort of boils down to MechE. It's far from my domain of expertise but I've recognized enough BS and been sent down some rabbit holes all too frequently to discover the BS at the end.
