  • This is why I've sided with the enemy and my career involves educating people on how to build AI automation.

    • I was afraid of AI coming from my job, so I decided to learn about it. And by learning about it, I learned its limitations, which are numerous.

      Someday maybe it will be strong enough to take on an entire engineer – but it's going to be a very long time until that happens. If anything, I've spent more time screwing with prompts making sure that they're perfect to try to get better outputs. Really where I see our jobs going is prompt engineering, DevOps, and fine tuning

      • Absolutely. AI is really good at single tasks of specific types. For example, it's great for organizing your emails, or creating filler content for a website, or helping suggest responses for customer support people. And sure, it did an amazing job creating code for a Google spreadsheet so I could easily scrape radio websites for their competitions and win festival tickets for the seventh year in a row. But in all these things it's incredibly one dimensional, and still needs a human to guide it. People come to my demo calls thinking that AI agents are fully possible and capable. Nope, not yet.
