I find AI interesting, and I continue to think it is world-changing. But I really don't see it with current generative AI / LLMs. They're obviously impressive, but I don't find them exciting, and I can't find a use-case for them in my life.

What am I missing?

I've done a few talks about the Post Office/Horizon over the last couple of years, including that their latest rebuild had a better approach (more psych safety, more user contact, tho no evidence of shifting sec / QA left).

I feel genuinely sad to hear that it's being canned. What a waste!

AI is interesting. It subverts our ideas on learning.

I'll explain.

Bloom's taxonomy is a model for how people learn, which probably fits your intuition. Higher levels of learning depend on lower levels.

Specifically, creating > evaluation > analyzing > applying > understanding > knowing.

AI is interesting.

AI suffers from categories of errors that humans don't, and is resilient to categories of errors that humans suffer from all the time.

Humans get taken in by the spam email linking to "PayPa1". AI pretty much can't fail to spot that.

First post on a new social media site feels hard to write, so I'm just going to throw it away like this. Take the pressure off.
