@darius @delta_vee i don't blame people for having the idea that "AI" assistants are extremely helpful tools but i'm always very interested in what they mean by that in the same way i would be in my prior role working on build tooling at twitter. people often have strong reactions to their tooling and often mistake which element of their tooling is causing them pain or helping them. for example, is chatgpt's innovation the actual text generator, or is it the chat interface they display to users that makes it more useful than search? is it more useful than search? what do people mean when they say it's more useful than search? do they feel productive? do they feel less worried about their creative output because they didn't write it themselves? i am terribly interested in how and why people are made to gather around technology
