These days I'm feeling like GenAi is basically an accuracy rate of 95% maybe 96%. Great at boilerplate, great at stuff you want an intern to do or maybe to outsource... but it really struggles with the valuable stuff. The errors are almost always in the most inconvenient places and they are hard to see... So I agree with Ben Evans on this one, what is one to do? the further you lean on it the worse your skills and specializations get. It is invaluable for some kinds of work greatly speeding you up, but then some of the things you would have caught take you down a rabbit hole that waste so much time. The tradeoffs here aren't great.
I think it's not the valuable stuff though. The valuable stuff is all the boilerplate, because, I don't want to do it. The rest, I actually have a stake in not only that it's done, but how it's done. And I'd rather be hands-on doing that and thinking about it as I do it. Having an AI do that isn't that valuable, and in fact robs me of the learning I acquire by doing it myself.
