The creativity of the financial industry is quite insane. Combined with the scale-at-all-cost strategy in AI companies, this is a ticking time bomb, no doubt.

I think it is easy to forget that a revolutionary technology does not automatically make a viable business model. I think we are yet to see the real winners in this game.

How strange, works fine here. What OS/browser do you use?

Agreed!

Circumstantial tacit knowledge can probably be approximated through examples and feedback. But that is not quite the same as truly acquiring it. Bridging that gap would likely require a fundamental breakthrough. And sure, there is no objective right judgement, but that is the same for a lot of things the models already do.

The bottom line of the article:

    Intelligence is being automated. Judgment is not.

This is true. Like with a lot of similar takes on AI, tacit knowledge is not easy to add to the AI’s training set.

Must be a lot of prompt injection potensial in AI evaluating user generated content like this.

Exactly, tacit knowledge is not easily added as AI training data.

Understanding the fundamentals of anything will always be a valuable skill, and that only comes from hard work and experience. And much of the experience lies in tacit knowledge, not easily added as AI training data.

That, combined with knowing what to build, and more importantly what NOT to build, I don’t think AI ever will take away from us.

Quote of the main point in the article:

    In other words, the hard part moves from recall (“How do I write this?”) to judgment (“Does this actually make sense?”)

This is very true. But to evaluate if it makes sense, you first need experience writing the code. I am glad I learned software development over 15 years ago, and not today. AI is a super power, but without the experience to guide it, it can go horribly wrong really quickly.
