alt Hacker NewsI have also seen the learning acceleration, there's a significantly increased set of techniques and technologies I have learned how to apply.
From a person perspective though, I'm apprehensive about the effect AI will have on the human "very well read intern." People who know a lot very deeply about specific areas are fascinating to talk to, but now almost everyone is able to at least emulate deep knowledge about an area through the use of AI. The productivity is there, but the human connection is missing.

did you try to apply anything you have "learned" without the help of LLMs?
I agree. I think this is personally very useful, but I think a great deal of what made computing an amazing industry to work in is going to or has already died. I suspect the general field as it existed will entirely cease to exist before the current set of well read interns have had much of a career chance. It is sad, but we have finally succeeded in programming ourselves out of jobs.
