I continually notice that the assertion some particular skill is needed to properly utilize the LLM, is rarely accompanied by any meaningful description of the path to develop that skill. Maybe I’m just looking in the wrong places.

    Reminds me a lot of the pro cryptocurrency people who drove by r/buttcoin to loudly claim that complaints about crypto being shit were wrong, but they never actually explained what was wrong. Felt very ‘trump just says wrong in the mic’, not an attempt to reason lr explain, but to dominate.

    I think AI is kind of like that stupid universal socket wrench that has a bunch of pins in it. The main skill in using something like that would be guessing when it’s not gonna work and not using it.

    Its like the old joke about Software Engineers having a degree in Googling. It’s not strictly wrong in the sense that there are good results and bad results and you can sorta tweak things, but it was only ever just coincidence that you happened to be looking up the same approximate subject matter as what the people who maintained Google were working on, so the search results tended to be better than average.
