One thing that I find truly amazing is just the simple fact that you can now be fuzzy with the input you give a computer, and get something meaningful in return. Like, as someone who grew up learning to code in the 90s it always seemed like science fiction that we'd get to a point where you could give a computer some vague human level instructions and get it more or less do what you want.

For me this moment came when Google calendar first let you enter fuzzy text to get calendar events added, this was around 2011, I think. In any case, for the end user this can be made to happen even when the computer cannot actually handle fuzzy inputs (which is of course, how an LLM works).

The big change with LLMs seems to be that everyone now has an opinion on what programming/AI is and can do. I remember people behaving like that around stocks not that long ago…

True, but I think this is just the zeitgeist. People today want to share their dumb opinions about any complex subject after they saw a 30 second reel.

What will it take to get people to admit they don’t actually know what they’re talking about?

The answer to that question lies at the bottom of a cup of hemlock.

Well, for once if the LLM:s they interact with or heck even the influencers they listen to would lead the way.

I'll be happy the day the LLM says "I don't know".
