    Some folks maybe aren’t prepared to do that themselves, but the more you use AI, the more confident you’ll become in leveraging those tools

    Unfortunately it’s not the confidence in using AI that’s lacking. It’s the confidence in the output.

      There is significant overlap between those two things. Depending on how old you are, you may not remember a time when people didn’t know how to search for information on the Internet; it was a skill people needed to learn. These days it’s pretty difficult to mess up finding what you want to find on the Internet, as the tools have been refined so much that it’s nearly idiot proof.

      It’s much the same way with using an LLM. We’re at the stage where using an LLM is a skill many people don’t have, and it leads to incorrect outputs. I have no doubt that the same refinement will happen for LLMs as happened with search engines.
