Fuck AI

Power drills were actually an improvement over hand drills. AI does things shittier than humans

In the same way that a person without any skill can fuck up their project 10x faster with a power drill, absolutely.

However, with training and actual skill with the tool, real actual training, it is indisputably faster by an enormous amount.

Any types of studies that have tried to indicate otherwise are always putting the tools in the hands of totally untrained people and going "wow look at him this person who has 0 training on how to use a power drill proceeds to fuck up their project!!!" As if its some gotcha, and then people cling to that as proof AI sucks.

Meanwhile people who actually knows wtf they are doing with it are indisputably pumping out probably better results.

The problem is in this case any random idiot with 0 skill can go grab a power drill with 2 button clicks and start drilling random holes in shit.

So you get a problem of 99% of uses you see are the "random holes from idiots" who have no idea wtf they are doing.

It takes genuine work to get actually good with these tools. Its not as easy as idiots have tried to make it look. You have a fair bit of domain knowledge you have to train on to get competent with it.

• understanding x shot prompting
• understanding the reinforcement problem and how to avoid it
• understanding how context windows work
• understanding how MCP tooling works and how to avoid context bloat on it
• understanding skills and skill scripts and how to use them right while avoiding context bloat
• understanding agentic systems and how to orchestrate agents well

Thats just the baseline, which is already multiple entire courses of knowledge just to get the basics.

People opening up fuckin gippity and zero context prompting stuff is such utter bottom of the barrel garbage, but its what people are comparing real AI backed work against.

The reality is, its an unbelievably powerful tool that takes easily ~1 year of practice to even get moderately skilled with to stop producing garbage.

... just like any other tool, you cant just pick it up and pretend you are a pro with it in a few hours.

That is the real lie that is being spread. This shit is complicated and has a lot of depth.

If you cant even have a convo on the nuance of when to choose a skill vs a tool for a task, you are not remotely qualified to even weigh in on how useful AI, you are way out of your depth on the topic.
