LLMs are mirrors of operator skill
This is a follow-up from my previous blog post: deliberate, intentional play. I didn't want to get into the distinction between skilled and unskilled work because people take offence to it, but AI is a matter of skill.
Someone can be highly experienced as a software engineer in 2024, but that does not mean they're skilled as a software engineer in 2025, now that AI is here.
In my view, LLMs are essentially mirrors. They mirror the skill of the operator.

I upgrade an entire project from .NET 8 to .NET 9, it just works. No hassle. Just... done.
I try to run a nodeJS build that worked YESTERDAY, with no changes, and it fails because the nodeJS ecosystem is about as stable as a tectonically active goth on rollerskates after a litre of supermarket gin.

@ryanairofficial.bsky.social clearly not prioritising passenger safety. Just boarded the Málaga–Stansted flight to find nuts scattered all over the floor. This is a serious risk for those with #nutallergy and #anaphylaxis. How can we trust you to keep us safe, Ryanair? #ryanair #passengersafety
