[I literally had this thought in the shower this morning so please don’t gatekeep me lol.]

If AI was something everyone wanted or needed, it wouldn’t be constantly shoved your face by every product. People would just use it.

Imagine if printers were new and every piece of software was like “Hey, I can put this on paper for you” every time you typed a word. That would be insane. Printing is a need, and when you need to print, you just print.

    Interns aren’t that intelligent, either. But they can generate content even if they’re not intelligent and that’s helpful, too.

    Having the right answer is a lot less useful than looking like you have the right answer, sadly.

      An intern has the capacity to learn, an LLM does not.

      Having the right answer is a lot less useful than looking like you have the right answer, sadly.

      Only if you care about accuracy, which is 100% the problem with LLMs.
