This can work great until the models get tweaked and you realize you’ve been working based on the currents of the model this week. Creating a robust enough setup that can work on d…

Except LLMs will only tend to share the most common or average of what it knows as the standard and deviating from it (including new ways) it can be resistant to. An expert can lay…

AI Averages, and is inclined to do average designs and implementations, which in some cases might be an improvement, but long term it creates more to deal with.
