People who know how to use LLMs are wizards.

· Bits and Bobs 10/7/24

They can use LLMs extremely effectively, to do things that look like magic.

Using an LLM effectively is a form of knowhow.

Knowhow doesn't feel like expertise, so when someone asks you how you do it, you'll shrug and say, "simply do what I do, it's easy!"

But it's not easy!

It feels easy to you as the person with knowhow because you've spent hundreds of hours practicing, loading up the experiences into your System 1 so they can be effortlessly recalled with minimal effort.

As people get more knowhow to use with LLMs, the difference between the average user and the best user gets stronger.

How can we make it so more people can be LLM wizards?

How can we make this magic common?
