I have been thinking a lot about the use of AI and how to use it. Part of my process has been watching others, namely the people who I thought were incompetent at their job before AI.

I have found the following, but I suspect as AI gets better this will change.

1) those who where incompetent before still are, but AI hides it.

2) those who were competent before AI do vastly more with AI. They seem to apply it in away that simply overshadows what the incompetent are doing.

3) the incompetent seem to be fascinated with things like skills, pre prompts and, setting policies and guidelines, and workshops. The competent seem to need none of this, are not going to workshops, already have their own and simply are more productive.

> LLMs are the eternal September for software, in that the sort of people who couldn’t make it through a bootcamp can now be “programming thought leaders” The democratization of programming (derogatory)

Free compilers were the democratization of programming. This is the banalization of software creation by removing knowledge as a requirement. That's not a good thing. You wouldn't call the removal of a car's brakes the democratization of speed, would you?
