Yeah, that is interesting.
So, I mean, you said that it might be tempting to kind of have these lazy uses.
I think in some cases it might even be imperative.
If people are under a lot of pressure, there might even be sort of selection pressure, like hiring and firing and this kind of thing can even come into play.
And that can happen at different levels as well.
Yeah, I believe in that as a pressure.
I think it's really concerning.
When you say, are people trying to get the best out of these things?
I mean, this is the other fascinating thing about LMs is that
as people learn how to kind of prompt them and how to tool them up and how best to give them the context they need.
It often turns out that a given LM from six months ago can actually do some stuff that people had thought it couldn't do as long as it's provided the right context and tools.
This isn't shocking, but this remains the case.
Even as the latest models come out, also scaffolding improvements continue to reveal capabilities that are new.
So in some sense, people are trying.
Could they try harder?
Probably.
I think maybe what you're asking is, are most people trying or can we expect most people to try?
How hard do you get?
really, I'm going to use the phrase epistemically virtuous again, really epistemically virtuous outputs out of these systems when they're under all these pressures and so on.
Now, I don't think it's fair or even sensible to expect everyone to be doing that.
