<p>In programming forums like Hacker News people are incredibly detached from the average experience with technology, sometimes it is buffling.<p>Most non technical people I know asked questions to Google even before the AI overview. Instead of looking for the answer in seo-bloated articles, they find it in the overview.<p>I think google should improve in detecting the kind of query when I need a link that I don't remember, and deactivate the overview on those. If I search for "ryanair booking" I clearly need the url for booking a Ryanair flight, AI overview is useless</p>

<p>I think it depends on what you are looking for.<p>Most of the time I'm looking for something very specific that there are plenty of articles about, but clicking on the articles results in popups, banners and an unhealthy amount of scrolling to get to the answer.<p>AI overview provides me the answer instantly.<p>Think about suff like "does china borders afghanistan".
In those cases you can be confident that the AI overview is right, and saved you time.<p>If it is a complex or niche question I tend not to trust the overview and go straight for legitimate-looking results</p>

<p>Well it depends on the url. Usually shareable url where "anyone with the link may access that file" contain a random element that makes it hard to guess if you don't have it (e.g. an UUID).<p>In other cases the content is at easily guessable path, and that is a whole different story</p>

<p>Yeah I also believe that there are plenty of efficiency gains available by using different models for different tasks. Reasoning models such as opus should only be used for the main planning and decision flows, but sub operations (exploring, applying edits etc etc) could be delegated to smaller and cheaper models. You also end up with a much smaller context for the main big model</p>

<p>I think that Anthropic has capacity problems. They went all in on acquiring new customers but now they don't have enough capacity to both serve users and train new models, so they are trying to limit user usages.<p>It is pure speculation of course, but I don't have any other explanations on the stuff they are pulling in the last 2 months.</p>

<p>I'm definitely not an AI skeptic and I use it constantly for coding, but I don't think we are approaching this future at all without a new technological revolution.<p>Specifications accurate enough to describe the exact behaviors are basically equivalent to code, also in terms of length, so you basically just change language (and current LLM tech is not on course to be able to handle such big specifications)<p>Higher level specifications (the ones that make sense) leave some details and assumption to the implementation, so you can not safely ignore the implementation itself and you cannot recreate it easily (each LLM build could change the details and the little assumptions)<p>So yeah, while I agree that documentation and specifications are more and more important in the AI world, I don't see the path to the conclusions you are drawing</p>

<p>I think the main point is that LLMs are pretty good at following existing patterns and conventions.<p>If you setup your skeleton in a way it is familiar to you, reviewing new features afterwards is easier.<p>If you let the LLM start with the skeleton, they may use different patterns and in the long run it's harder to keep track of it.</p>
