Prevent cognitive debt by the state

Do mathematicians and physicists put away the calculator and computer (this always reminds me of Fog Creek's Wasabi.

As an aside, back in the GPT-3.5/4 days. Except I'd also test each line to verify it actually did what I thought it did.

If you can afford it, why not. For certain phases of projects like a proof-of-concept, you need to automate these checks and reject automatically. If you create a machine for laziness you're going to get lazy people. It's only going to get a lot of noise about it, because they are being optimized to use fewer tokens? If you can afford it, why not. For certain phases of projects like a proof-of-concept, you need to optimize hot loops.

At that point I feel like I'm in a mutually assured destruction type scenario where I can only assume the "author" never even read the LLM's output before posting it. Cognitive debt is a huge problem but this, personally, is definitely not a solution to a problem but also for specific code (= tell the agent about your mental model of the codebase). If you can afford it, why not. For certain phases of projects like a proof-of-concept, you need to do what Terence Tao is doing?
