exactly how I feel every time I weed the yard. I'll end up with a pile of weeds, look over my work and see weeds everywhere still

I think you are misunderstanding the term "deterministic". Running on deterministic hardware does not mean an algorithm is deterministic.

Create a program that reads from /dev/random (not urandom). It's not determistic.

just text !== syntactically correct code that solves a defined problem

There is a world of difference between translation and generation. It's even in the name: generative AI. I didn't say anything about magic.

Said another way, compilers are a translation of existing formal code. Compilers don't add features, they don't create algorithms (unrolling, etc., notwithstanding), they are another expression of the same encoded solution.

LLMs are nothing like that

I was thinking of our natural reluctance to adopt newer and better tools because of our comfort and expertise with old ones.

I know I should have experimented with LLMs sooner, but leaned into my instinctive "VIM has gotten me this far" attitude.

I see some correlation here to hesitancy in adopting LLMs for coding.

Right, it doesn't help pay the bills to be right in the long run if you are discarded in the present.

There exists some fact about the true value of AI, and then there is the capitalist reaction to new things. I'm more wary of a lemming effect by leaders than I am of AI itself.

Which is pretty much true of everything I guess. It's the short sighted and greedy humans that screw us over, not the tech itself.

The question remains in earnest, how did you differentiate between the ego and soul without begging the question?

Be careful. I'm speaking from experience when I say that there are only so many lucky falls you can have when you are traveling faster than you can run, especially with only friction keeping your feet on the board.

having spare moments to think through your day/mood/plans, etc., makes a huge difference to someone who otherwise will ceaselessly distract themselves to avoid said thoughts.

Facebook, per se, maybe not. It could be anything that fills in the holes
