Yes.
So there's a couple of things to say there.
So one, I think there is a real skill in providing the LLM system with enough information
to be a good collaborator.
Because you really are dealing with a different, it's not a human being.
You really have to load in everything you possibly can from your body of work, from the way you're thinking, and that's a real skill.
And then the other thing is,
You know, for me, if it's at all anything like programming, because I have a lot of colleagues and friends who are programmers who kind of feel similarly to you.
And for me, I've gotten better and better and better at giving as much information as possible to the systems in a really structured way, maybe because I just like natural language as a way to express things.
my thinking, and then the benefit comes from the inspiration that the system can provide by its ability to
know a lot of things and make connections between disparate fields and between disparate concepts.
And in that way, it provides not the answer, but the inspiration, the hand-holding, the camaraderie that helps me get to the answer.
Because it does know a lot more than me.
Know, like knowledge.
And if you give it a lot of information and ask the broader questions,
It can make some really beautiful connections.
But I do find that I have to be extremely patient.
Like you said, the amount of times I'll do something dumb where I feel like, you don't get this at all, do you?
That's a source of a lot of frustration for us humans.
Like, wait, this thing doesn't understand at all.
