But the problem is it used to not need that before. These days, you have to think twice before you summon a subagent.

This is exactly what I (and many others) kept trying to tell the pro-AI folk 18 months ago: there is no value to jumping on the product early because any "experience" you have with it is easily gained by newcomers, and anything you learned can easily be swapped out from under you anyway.


The value is all the things I built with it? Surely, this constant change deteriorates the experience but to be clear, here we're nitpicking on the experience, not questioning the value.

I also don't understand the "pro-AI" phrase. It's a tool, it brings results. I'm not pro-car when I drive to work.


> The value is all the things I built with it?

To be clear, the people I were talking about were not referring to the value, but the experience in using these tools.

Would you prefer the phrase "AI-boosters"?


Ah, okay, I must have gotten lost in the conversation. Sorry!

> Would you prefer the phrase "AI-boosters"?

AI-booster folk? :)


> AI-booster folk? :)

Could be; I mean, we differentiate between people who use cars as a tool and call enthusiasts "petrol-heads".

I use AI daily, but I certainly wouldn't consider myself either pro-AI or an AI-booster.

(Naming is hard)
