  • There is a data point missing here.

    Do the same study and give some an LLM, some no LLM, and some a type A subject matter expert for reference. It may also matter if this person is a friend coworker or random passerby, but I would be willing to bet money that the same effect is present to a lesser (but still statistically significant) degree.

    Maybe a future study can be further refined to build some scaffolding for more effective teaching/learning “on the job” or in general.













  • That’s the whole point I’m making. A “proper coder” can leverage a model without turning it lose on a whole code base and saying “just fuck my shit up”.

    You write the logic for a panel and you need to add a centered button in a UI? Done. You need to grab the proper tar flags for data repackage and transport? Done. You need to actually devise a scalable framework for an finite state machine capturing failure modes? Hooray, you now have time to just focus on that, it’s a bad use case for a LLM. This is what you pay real people for.
