Talking with a friend of mine who's been in development for some time and I had been talking a little bit about the skill required to wield AI effectively and that people were expecting it to be something that required less skill than it does.
He said his version of this observation is "your agents are only as good as you are." I think he's right, and the key is to practice and build the skill.
> agents are only as good as you are
that doesn't sound like a net benefit at all. I think mostly people just enjoy playing with these toys, and good developers are still good with them, bad developers still bad
I think there is a distinction between whether or not they require skill and whether or not they are a net benefit.
