Contrarian just for the sake of it. Get on board or stay behind. Whatever good or bad AI brings to the table, it's here to stay. The cat's out of the bag. Might as well enjoy it. Evolution will not stay on your whimsical made-up reality. It will run you over.

What if AI in the long run makes us slower and less effective. As someone who is one of the folks supercharged by these tools, I could see it.

I think people are underestimating the level of experience and knowledge that’s required to prompt LLM’s. Not in the micro sense but in the macro. It seems so easy because it feels easy. But if you don’t have deep understanding of the domain, it will just feel impossible. The person next to you with domain experience will say “it’s so easy, look at This simple sentence I typed in”. And be like “it’s just a skill issue, why is everyone struggling so much” and not understand the years of accumulated wisdom or innate talent it took to type that simple sentence.

AI makes the easy things easy and the hard things harder, and more omnipresent.
