@emollick Spot on. In accounting, "dumbing down" UI fails. Controllers need raw data visibility and audit trails, not a black-box "magic" button. We need different steering wheels, not a removed dashboard.
@emollick Or more accurately - “changing the system prompt of your coding app, and removing coding jargon from the interface” does not make it better for knowledge work. That’s basically what OAI did
@emollick Exactly. Non-coders are a different type of user, one they have not truly understood yet.
@emollick A most excellent point, not every job is "like SWE but just a bit different":-)
@emollick Totally, OpenAI destroying the best product that they had.
@emollick PREACH
Hint for all AI Labs as they branch out from work for programming to general knowledge work: non-coders are not just dumber coders Taking away a bunch of options from your coding app does not make it better for knowledge work. We need more types of control & visibility, not less
