Well, the main difference is that code describes predictable behaviour, whereas prompts are just a precursor to a general ‘direction’ of behaviour which depends highly on the model (and supporting augmentations) that is ingesting it.

By the way, vscode extensions are part of the reason I moved to Zed… so trust is still important even in the age of llms

Get a dishwasher. Don’t rely on a car. There are plenty of life changing effeciency hacks that can free up hours of time a day.

Actually it is a shame. It doesn’t “polish” it, it turns it into generic irritating slop, with the same style all AI slop is written in. It screams “the person who made this is lazy”. It is frankly an insult to the reader.

Maybe English isn’t your first language so you don’t appreciate that, but I promise if it was done in your native language it would piss you off.

The reality is that we are hitting a plateau that’s taking us as far as transformer architecture will allow us. Until another breakthrough happens, I heavily doubt we’re on the cusp of anything, instead it’s clear that things are levelling out.

You’re comparing a single app with an entire ecosystem and app marketplace. Poor comparison.

Injecting bias into an already biased model doesn’t make decision smarter, it just makes them faster.

It’s not a thank you letter. It’s AI slop.

LLMs are plateauing, and you’re in denial.

Like genital herpes, I am stuck with it. I might as well learn to like it. And eventually convert others across to the cause.

Once in a blue moon is fine but at that frequency? Sounds like you’re just short circuiting your brain and enjoying the sprays while they last.

We are not stochastic parrots. Old components of our brain help “ground” our thoughts and allow things like doubt or a gut feeling to develop which means we can question ourselves in ways an LLM cannot.

There’s a fine line between ‘open’ and ‘perverted’.
