We are using AI badly

I have used language models since GPT-2. They were awkward, often wrong, and occasionally useful. Their limits were obvious. You gave them a small job, checked the answer, and never mistook confidence for knowledge.

Coding models are much better now. They can find their way through a repository, propose a change, write tests, and keep working for longer than the models I first used. I like that. They can take boring work off a developer’s plate and leave more time for design, debugging, and decisions that need context.
