It’s so hard to finish an idea that is not yours and is just suggested by AI

Re: It’s so hard to finish an idea that is not yours and is just suggested by AI
#22i've been dabbling with various assistant models and instances and find that there's an interesting "idea" that pops up from their synthesis and relevancy analysis at a decent frequency. some kind of "inverse prompting" in which the machine has an angle, perspective, opportunity (based on the context it's working with/in) and the human turns those seedlings into something useful... or else decides its weed to be disc…
The prompter becomes the prompted!

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
Probably good to establish canonical spec documents up front that it can use and maintain as an independent reference?
Doesn't need to be "up front", but you do need to curate the context. AI can't read your mind, and it will read what you (or anyone else) wrote.
Humans can’t read minds either, but most humans aren’t so dumb as to forget what is a normative spec and what is just their own current, evolving model of the problem space. (Though some humans certainly are…)

#24What am I even here for if not to have my own ideas?
That's for you to find out. When we automated muscles in the industrial revolution, people used to value strength. Today they value thought. They may value something else in the future.

#25I have this problem even in codebases. Claude will work on something, and add detailed comments in which it extrapolates the from the design and confidently states intentions and decisions which aren't actually grounded in reality. Then, later sessions suffer when it reads back those hallucinations and treats them as canonical.

They spent 3 years pretending that their magic robot made them 10x harder/better/faster/stronger than the lazy peons rubbing shoulders with them and now the bill has come due.

#27This is why I never use AI for ideas. Always my own ideas.

Seems like the only thing left to value will be social capital. If all forms of labor are free, the only thing that matters is how many people you know, what they think of you, whether they listen to you.

#29Brian, CTO complains that it's so hard for him to execute against the technical strategy communicated by that smart intern on the third day of his internship two years ago. Poor Brian.

#30I have separate directories for human only files and ai files. I’m not doing anything that matters but it works for me.
