I’m loving today. HN’s front page is filled with some good sources today. No nonsense sensationalism or preaching AI doom, but more realistic experiences.

I’ve completely turned off AI assist on my personal computer and only use AI assist sparingly on my work computer. It is so bad at compound work. AI assist is great at atomic work. The rest should be handled by humans and use AI wisely. It all boils down back to human intelligence. AI is only as smart as the human handling it. That’s the bottom line.

Sure. But a smart person using an AI is way smarter than a smart person not using an AI. Also keep in mind that the IQ of various AIs varies dramatically. The Google Search AI, for example, has an IQ in the 80s (and it shows); whereas capable paid AIs consistently score in the 120 IQ range. Not as smart as me, but close enough. And entirely capable of doing in seconds what would take me hours to accomplish, while applying every single one of my 120+ IQ points to the problem at hand. Im my opinion, really smart people delegate.
