The tools have a learning curve. You can get extreme amounts of value out of them but you have to learn how to use them. Many tools are this way.
It might make sense to learn now, before everyone expects that you be an expert with this tool in order to do your job. On the other hand perhaps they will be easier to learn if you wait.
There is an incredible amount of nuance to be had in using LLMs and we reached the stage, probably only in the last few weeks where all the pieces have fallen into place such that if you are skilled at using the LLMs just about all of the previous problems with them can now be easily mitigated. If you learn how. There is a lot to learn.
"It might make sense to learn now, before ..." Since 2023, everything learned in Year X was 99% useless in year X+1.
"we reached the stage, probably only in the last few weeks where ..." This has also been said every other month since 2023.
how does one learn to mitigate not understanding the work they push , given that the work wasnt performed by them ?
