I think a part of the problem with current AI is that it’s trying to be an expert on all things. Humans can have similar issues, were they are legitimately an expert in one field and makes them over confident in other areas. So current AI is a better bit then a newb at lots of things and over confident. Haveing models with more focused training would improve how useful they are.

Like your example, it would be great to have an AI that is focused on how to do good research and doesn’t try to be an “expert” on anything else.

I have been using it for documentation a lot recently. I find tweaking/correcting it’s 70% correct comments to be less time/effort than writing it myself from nothing. I think part of it is using Cunningham’s law on myself.

I don’t think it’s about anthropomorphizing the tool, it’s about expressing appreciation for the tool. Showing appreciation to a wrench may being as simple as making sure that you clean, oil, and properly put it away when your done using it. The tool is not a conscious entity, but the mindset of appreciation will make you more likely to properly care for the object resulting it being useful to you for longer.

Yeah. AI is an interesting tool. I have good success in asking for mostly small specific bits of functionality that I then integrate into a larger script. It also helps with rubber duck programing by requiring me to more clearly specify requirements.

No, he is being attacked because he publicly contradicted Trump. If do anything Trump perceives as “making him look bad”, he will attack you.
