That is a fair point. You could look at enterprise adoption though, also very high, and not cheap at all.

"This time is different" has been correct for every major technological shift in history. Electricity was different. Antibiotics were different. Semiconductors were different. Gen …

how sure are you that an llm won't be better at reviewing code for safety than most humans, and eventually, most experts?

I think maybe you missed that my response was to this comment: > How can you be grateful enough to want to send someone such a letter but not grateful enough to write one? I alread…

I agree about the abuse, and the OP is probably a good example of that. Do you have any ideas on how to curtail abuse? Ideas I often hear usually assume it is easy to discern AI co…

Yeah it can be a risk or a benefit for sure. I agree that struggle matters. I don’t think deep understanding comes without effort. My point isn’t that those hours were wasted, it’s…

Totally agree, but also, I still spend tons of time struggling and working on things with LLMs, it is just a different kind of struggle, and I do think I am getting much better at …

I think you are right that it is a spectrum, and maybe that's enough to settle the debate. It is more about how you use it than the tool itself. Maybe one more useful consideration…

Forgive a sharp example, but consider someone who is disabled and cannot write or speak well. If they send a loving letter to a family member using an LLM to help form words and se…

This feels like the essential divide to me. I see this often with junior developers. You can use AI to write a lot of your code, and as a side effect you might start losing your ab…

> I’m sorry, but this really gets to me. Your writing is not improved. It is no longer your writing. Photographers use cameras. Does that mean it isn't their art? Painters use pain…

This is disingenuous

good point. My response was to the comment not the OP

If I spend hours writing and rewriting a paragraph into something I love while using AI to iterate, did I write that paragraph? edit: Also, I think maybe you don't appreciate the p…

I think what all theses kinds of comments miss is that AI can be help people to express their own ideas. I used AI to write a thank you to a non-english speaking relative. A person…

The things that we enjoy in life are mostly driven by habit. Best to drive your habits to things that are good for you. Also, the world has changed so much in the last 5 years. It'…

you could also propagate loss into the tools themselves.

I wish I had realized this when I was younger. People overestimate raw intelligence and underestimate sheer persistence. Just staying with a problem longer—pushing past the point w…

Completely agree. Though I think this statement could benefit from pointing out that cars also help people go much faster, and do things they otherwise couldn't.

Where is the study? Isn't 15% huge?

I think it ends up being a sort of an evolved trait. Somebody in a full remote company doesn't show up for work one day, they notice that the next day nobody says anything, nobody …

I run a bootstrapped cheminformatics company that’s been gaining traction, and I currently own it outright. I’m genuinely interested in a model like you’re describing—something tha…

> We apparently get enough protein due daily consumption and the avg sporty person doesn't need protein powder. I don't know what that means. The amount of protein people get varie…

This comment may unnecessarily discourage people from using metformin. - There is no evidence linking metformin to PSP, let alone a causal relationship. - PSP is also very rare, pr…
