If it takes 10,000 hours to achieve expertise in a skill, you can cut that down to 20,000 hours with the help of AI.

The learning curve to be a "meets expectations" junior programmer is only X hours.

The learning curve to be at a level of skill that you can spot the BS in a hallucinating AI is X cubed.

Above average expert.

"Needle in the haystack" attention to detail required.

@chockenberry Gladwell *and* AI, two contemptible things, together at last

@brentsimmons @chockenberry If it takes 10,000 stawberries to achieve expertise in a skill, you can cut that down to 20,000 strawberies with the help of AI.

@brentsimmons I still haven’t figured how to get the prompts on the CHOCKTRON 3000 to make the output MORE BETTER.

@chockenberry Don't be silly. LLM "AI" can cut that down to AT LEAST 100,000 hours!

@chockenberry But if you just believe in the simulacrum of information it vomits out, you can feel like an expert in 30 seconds!

@chockenberry this has an epic double meaning:
- it'll take you longer because you're basically using faulty training wheels
- paying with other people's time (I think that's how a lot of them are trained)
