Helped: Replacing a team of 15 developers with GPT.

… The mere fact we don’t know how things work or that we are not cloning our own brains or processes is not a proof at all that we won’t stumble accidentally or purposely onto something that is a reasonable simile. I believe LLMs and the emergent behaviours they show gives us some idea that we are quite stupid and arrogant; we believe we are all that, yet I replaced a team of 15 devs with gpt and we overperform more than ever. I agree with you we don’t understand our brains, but that doesn’t mean there is no alternative or simile that works just as well rooted in silicon and LLMs are the beginning of that.
