It reinforces how to "learn AI" is to first master the problem domain. I can use AI for coding after decades of coding. I can't use it for theoretical physics because I can't evaluate the responses. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Correctamundo. That's EXACTLY what I just wrote about. And how we'll create the next generation of people who know how to evaluate responses when we're creating a generation of people who are increasingly reliant on LLMs to do the work makes for a strange paradox. https://larsfaye.com/articles/ai-coding-will-prevent-experti... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

More and more the skill of being able to ask the right question seems critical to me, and I don't know how one can do that without deeper and deeper domain expertise. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Indeed that’s the case but most of the programming problems are solved problems and unless you care how things are done someone with less/no knowledge can still make great use of programming to do what it needs to do. Let’s not pretend you need to be programmer to use AI for programming like mathematicians need to solve math problems. Programming (most of the time)solves real problems rather than abstract constructs. AI is already good enough to create the next “Facebook”(v1 and maybe v2 as well) without any real programmer. This makes the AI a big enabler and reduces the need for programmers vastly in the early stages of any business. That being said as more online businesses will flourish these will require actual programmers after they get enough traction so the debate is still on if it will lead to massive layoffs in our industry. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> I can't use it for theoretical physics because I can't evaluate the responses. A tool, even if it is a chisel, in the hands of a master sculptor would obviously result in a wildly different outcome. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> I can use AI for coding after decades of coding. I can't use it for theoretical physics because I can't evaluate the responses. That is what will happen though to future generations: they won't be able to use it for anything because none of them will have the "decades of coding" experience that you have had the privelege to have without AI. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
