If you've seen further it's only because you've stood on the shoulders of giants.

Having other people do work for you is how people get to focus on things they actually care about.

Do you use a compiler you didn't write yourself? If so can you really say you've ever learned anything about computers?

You have to build a computer to learn about computers!

I would argue that if you've just watched videos about building computers and haven't sat down and done one yourself, then yeah I don't see any evidence that you've learned how to build a computer.

And, so the anti-LLM argument goes, if you've not built the computer you can't learn anything about what computers could be used for.

It is easy to not believe if you only apply an incredibly narrow world view.

Open your eyes, and you might become a believer.

What is this, some sort of cult?

You mean the cult of "I can't see the viruses therefore they dint exist"? As in "I can't imagine something so it means it's a lie"?

Indeed, quite weird and no imagination.

No, it is an as snarky response to a person being snarky about usefulness of AI agents.

It does seem like there is a cult of people who categorically see LLMs as being poor at anything without it being founded in anything experience other than their 2023 afternoon to play around with it.

Who cares? Why are people so invested in trying to “convert” others to see the light?

Can’t you be satisfied with outcompeting “non believers”? What motivates you to argue on the internet about it? Deep down are you insecure about your reliance on these tools or something, and want everyone else to be as well?

Why do people invest themselves so hard in interjecting themselves into conversations about Ai telling people it doesn't work?

It feels so off rebuilding serious SaaS apps in days for production, only to be told it is not possible?
