As my violin teacher used to say, “practice doesn’t make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.”

If you’re not aiming for excellence every time you do something you’re practicing imperfection.

Sure man, but the vast majority of us do not work in the making beautiful sounds with violing business.

If some middle manager boss says to some minion to make a quick draft of a keynote of some random info that tangentially may make sense in one of his meetings, and the minion then goes on working on it on full attention for a day to make the beautifullest keynote of the word he did not do a draft and the boss is pissed because other shit did not get done. Having an llm quarter ass a keynote based on a prompt and two refinements is precisely the effort required for that job, any more than that is wasting time.

If the quick draft doesn't justify the time and energy, the keynote certainly doesn't. If the keynote is a waste of time, then the meeting is pointless. The best place for the LLM is to replace the jackass who called the pointless meeting in the first place.

I agree with you. Yet those jackasses will not be replaced any faster by us agreeing here.
