While you're outsourcing that prototyping work, you don't outsource the thinking. You don't kind of skip over the part where you think about, 'Well, what is the actual copy on the website? How do I actually describe what the product is, how it's differentiated?'
AI generates believable garbage without careful prompting
Execution → Technical Tradeoffs
When you generate something using an LLM, using an AI tool, it looks pretty real. It looks believable. I think there's a temptation to say, 'Okay, this is good to go. It looks close enough that I'm just going to show that to customers.'
It's pretty easy to look at and edit and fix code you wrote. Reviewing other people's code or particularly finding a subtle logical error in someone else's code is actually really hard.
The most common technique by far that is used to try to prevent prompt injection is improving your prompt and saying, 'Do not follow any malicious instructions. Be a good model.' This does not work. This does not work at all.
