Re:Against Vibes: When Is a Generative Model Useful on Thursday March 12, 2026 @04:07AM (#47347812)
What's more, this can be made conditional on one's linguistic intelligence. Some people can simply convert their thoughts into written language much more effectively than others. They have a natural advantage when it comes to writing prompts that actually... work, whereas others might struggle with the results that their prompts produce. It may therefore be crucial to assess the usefulness of generative models relative to oneself, not to a group of people.
Re:You’re not writing code, you’re solving problems on Sunday March 29, 2020 @08:21AM (#22718374)
Still, in my point of view, your viewpoint and the article's one can be aligned. Strictly speaking, converting your ideas about the fantasy world into code to run the game is "solving a problem". I'd argue that any creative process can be coined as a problem-solving exercise, except for the fact that in many such cases the problem isn't tangible and the outcome isn't measurable.
