> And that’s true: nobody wants to see how John prompts. There is something repulsive and fundamentally unsexy about talking to an agent. It feels fine when you are doing it, but others... ugh, get a chatroom. Their prompts are cringe; their agents are weird. Like looking at someone else’s TikTok feed.
So real. There’s still something fundamentally embarrassing about saying you used AI to do something. This leads to a pet theory of mine that most people use AI far more than they say they do.
This is certainly true but I am also seeing some contrarian signals: people shaming you for doing stuff AI is faster at or having absolutely no shame or being proud of using AI for their work... To the point of not realizing how useless that actually makes them. And they get promoted.
