Checking for existing errors is a completely different thing than saying “do this”
We use a lot of automation at work, but it’s stuff like that or “pull this number and put it there” where a human might make a typo.
But still, way different than actually making something from a handful of vague suggestions.
And at that point it’s not really a LLM, it’s just botting.



















I was actually a participant in a study like this, literally decades ago tho.
We did exercises on a giant vibrating pad, like a flat sybian.
It just barely qualified as a quantifiable difference, and I always suspected it was due to micromotions to stabilize. Like how we shiver to burn energy to generate heat.
Like, whatever you were doing, you could just do another rep and that wipes out the gains of the fancy equipment. But then people won’t buy the fancy equipment.
Bikers will blow money on negligible gains all day
