100% based. Some of the best meetings and demos I've ever ran in my consulting era were done on prep I did maybe 30 minutes before! Ironically, in many cases, the more prep I did, the worse the outcome was!
very true. and these days take a lot less effort than before getting llms to summarize shit which is one task they inarguably shine on
They make too many mistakes for me to rely on their summaries for consulting. Repeating one of those is a great way to embarrass yourself in front of a client and damage your reputation
I don't trust LLMs or "deep research" for any serious analysis. I use them for guidance (when I do use them) but not for the final product. Too many words with too many landmines (mistakes) hidden within. Also, distillation and inference via human brain is much more environmentally-friendly than sacrificing fleets of GPUs while only being just a tad bit more work.
