> We came full circle on the problem that also exists with Google Search, and why so many people don't get good results out of it.
yeah. I spent the first 15 years of my career being amazed at how many problems people came to me with which I was able to resolve in 10 minutes with a simple google search.
I suspect I will spend the next 15 years of my career being amazed at how many problems people come to me with which I am able to resolve in 10 minutes with a simple LLM prompt.
I'm still amazed at how many problems people come to me with which I am able to resolve immediately by reading the error message they are looking at!
I am probably not the only one who feels embarassed when I copy-paste a large error output to an LLM and it points out to me that the error message very clearly said what I needed to do already.
I'm a TA for a calculus course and I really don't understand why people come to my office hours to ask me questions anymore.
Not everyone learns from reading LLM output and multiple rounds of human explanation are still highly valuable.
If I had a HN comments wall I'd hang this one on there.
