Funny you mention that, because I started noticing the word 'harness' being used everywhere about a month ago, even though I hadn’t seen it before (in this context). As I don’t trust my memory, I assumed I had just been overlooking it and added it to my vocabulary. However, a Google Trends search does show increased usage since the end of March: https://trends.google.com.br/trends/explore?date=today%203-m...
It's probably just a coincidence. But that would be pretty interesting if we have an example of some kind of memetic phenomenon where one or more popular LLMs makes a claim that people then start to repeat as true, or at least follow up on it and start writing about it, and in so doing the claim becomes true. Even if it didn't happen in this case, I feel like it's only a matter of time.
