I don’t „talk” to my agents. I tell them what to do. If I need to „talk” it means something is going wrong and we need to figure out why agents are doing bad work - and this is intellectually challenging.

The effect you describe I had at times but with older/dumber models where you could spend a ton of time and the model was either too dumb to do it, or had a model dementia later in the context. Or when I didn’t really understand why it did a bad job and tried to stumble around in the dark - very mentally numbing.

Nowadays the model usually just had some bad tools or information required to do the job.

If you're not even asking the questions, you probably don't know what it's writing. That's essentially the same as saying you don't care about the quality of what you produce.

That's not new, it's just not something most people would've admitted to until recently.

Though, if you're still typing, you might want to try recent STT software.
