A while ago I posted a comment regarding AI being like a genius 16year old - extrem knowledgeable in technical details, hyper-motivated, feels a need to help. But no production experience, no instinct on what might cause catastrophic issues in that very environment. So what would you do with such an individual who has the potential to be of great help with current issues? - not let him touch production systems at all - always have someone experienced looking over his shoulder (hoping she/he is fast enough to prevent issues)? - restrict credentials and give only access to a sandbox? - only explain the dangers you see and make use of his knowledge but otherwise just hope for the best (and trust your recovery plans)? I see many similarities between AI and this teenager - do you? | ||||||||

Why would LLMs not have access to the breadth of operational experience that is out there in user guides, specifications, forums, blogs, logs, observability platforms and such? And if it does, why is it not as good an operator as any other? Why is operation distinct from creation, especially with so much DevOps and IaaC stuff around? | ||||||||
