True, that’s also one of the reasons, I guess, folks are so overly obsessed with harness / model / token consumption discussions.
This topics replaced the geeking out on the subject itself and gives back the feeling of knowing stuff better than all the AI normies.
The main problem with me is I am not learning anything anymore when I use AI.
The joy of exploring how to do something is gone, the joy of finding out a neat little trick behind some random thing in a programming language is gone, the joy of talking to people about it is gone as well. The only thing that remains is mechanical. AI may as well write all code but everything surrounding it, every little piece of joy is gone 😞
