How long do you think it will be until the “ai isn’t doing anything” people are going away 1 month, 6 months, I’d say 1 Year at the most, anyone who has used Claude code since Dec 1st knows this in their bones, so I’d just let these people shout from the top of the hill until they run out of steam…
Right around then, we can send a bunch of reconnaissance teams out to the abandoned Japanese islands to rescue them from the war that’s been over for 10 years - hopefully they can rejoin society, merge back with reality and get on with their lives
I think the "AI isn't doing anything" crowd have some kind of vocabulary/language barriers/deficiencies that prevent them from refining their prompting methods into something that works for them.
I find that the more precise I am in my prompts, the more precise the response. But that requires that I use vocabulary that I wouldn't use in a human conversation.
Same here, I created a prompt enhancer gpt and a prose enhancer gpt, and I tend to chain all my prompts through them, then I use an extension to remove markdown + replace Unicode, and then add tabs and proper formatting to product a final version of all my prompts. This tends to result in prompts that perform 20-25% better for all difficult or multi-part tasks.
Logically this makes sense, the probabilites for next tokens the model produces follows the pattern it observes from the initial input, if your prose reflects that which individuals with higher intelligence tend to use, the model will continue this high in response and vice versa
I’m curious to see what happens as the % of training input using synthetic data generated by models tips the scales so that markdown reflects higher intelligence inputs - I wonder when this will occur
