So a human is just a really expensive, unreliable bag of words. And we get more expensive and more unreliable by the day!

There's a quote I love but have misplaced, from the 19th century I think. "Our bodies are just contraptions for carrying our heads around." Or in this instance... bag of words transport system ;)

I just came from the Pluribus sub-Reddit. I’ll take AI over that cohort any day.

I think the canonical answer is that humans are “bags of mostly water” .

So tell me, why do I still have a job and why am frequently successful in getting profitable / useful products into production if I’m “expensive and unreliable”?

I mean I use AI tools to help achieve the goal but I don’t see any signs of the things I’m building and doing being unreliable.
