A very eager junior developer who is supremely confident, always says yes, does trivial work in seconds but makes very critical mistakes in the difficult stuff and when you thought he was learning and improving, he forgets everything and starts from square zero again.

I'd say it's more like: every time you start a new conversation with him, it's like his first day on the job.

But also: within the span of one interaction with him, he advances from junior to senior engineer in your specific domain.


> he advances from junior to senior engineer in your specific domain

Only if your expectation of senior engineers is that they often hallucinate and you'll constantly have to double-check their work


While capitulating at the slightest nudge and apologizing profusely.


That can be customized away though, thank God / Sama


But at least you expect them to eventually get better. AI is more like a junior developer with anterograde amnesia.


That behavior sounds like AI to me.


"AI is like ....". "A very eager ...". "That sounds like AI to me.". Yup
