"Have you ever used a Generative AI tool to finish a task in five minutes that once required five hours of deep, agonizing focus? As you watch the results flash across the screen, instead of a surge of pride, you might feel a creeping sense of dread. (...) This article explores the cognitive dissonance of the AI era (...)."

@dw_innovation@mastodon.social @hackernoon@mas.to I first read the evaluations of the people testing the Automated Incompetence engines and read someone who spent six hours getting results and debugging results from such a machine to accomplish an uncommon but relatively simple task. The machine never gave a correct answer, but over time its answers got better, and it finally gave one that could be fixed by any competent coder. But any competent coder could probably solve the problem ad hoc in 20 minutes by working without AI. At that point, I determined never to waste my time with Automated Incompetence.
