Really nice idea but how long before Robinhood will fall for the avances of an Evil Princess...?
Readit NewsNice to read this take on AI, especially on HN.
I read on HN a lot of anecdotes of people who find less joy in work because AI is taking the fun out of it, or that it is relacing part if their job.
For me it feels different. Finally i have a 'coworker' who doesn't get annoyed after asking tons of questions and details.
One that mostly understands where I am getting at, even if the question is poorly formulated.
One that comes up with ideas that make the result better. One that summarizes what i've told it, so I can check whether it got what I meant.
One that has more knowledge than any living person.
Still it is being criticized for hallucinating and for producing imperfect results. But maybe that's what keeps the job interesting as a SW engineer, the provided solution is not perfect and you can improve it together step by step.
The AI was trained to come across as a real person. It's easy to fall into the trap of not seeing it just as it is: a very complex tool. However if you have enough experience, you feel the difference. Its being overly confident shines true.

I wish it were easier to just say to someone. Hey I don’t want to hurt your feelings, but I’m feeling to end this conversation now. Is it OK that we bring it to an end?
I don't understand, could you elaborate?
In my perception ending a conversation is much easier than keeping it alive. People will pick up easily that you are not interested, even in the non verbal part of communication, no?

Interesting to read that people like that you answer in milliseconds to their questions or suggestions.
I very often interrupt people when eagerly fitting into a conversation. That happens almost automatically and sometimes I apologize and say, sorry i was interrupting what you are saying... Often they don't continue where they got interrupted but don't seem annoyed.
Maybe it has to do with those emerging doorknobs i noticed and couldn't resist in grabbing.

I wonder why people use LLMs as a mental health provider replacement.
My experience is that they (at least copilot) are at least on par, if not better, than self help books. I assume they will get better over time.
Just my few cents

- When one of the agents does something wrong, a human operator needs to be able to intervene quickly and needs to provide the agent with expert instructions. However since experts do not execute the bare tasks anymore, they forget parts of their expertise quickly. This means the experts need constant training, hence they will have little time left to oversee the agent's work.
- Experts must become managers of agentic systems, a role which they are not familiar with, hence they are not feeling at home in their job. This problem is harder to be determined as a problem by people managers (of the experts) since they don't experience that problem often first hand.
Indeed the irony is that AI provides efficiency gains, which as they become more widely adopted, become more problematic because they outfit the necessary human in the loop.
I think this all means that automation is not taking away everyone's job, as it makes things more complicated and hence humans can still compete.
