Ilyas Landikov: From Prompting to Pairing, Developing with AI
Details
We hear that AI makes us more productive, but most of us still use it like a vending machine: throw in a prompt, get an answer, blame it when it “hallucinates.”
In this talk, we’ll look at AI differently. AI and the human brain are both examples of neural networks. The key difference is that we are capable of emotions and with them we create feedback.
Through a live (and slightly risky) experiment with a “human neural network,” we’ll explore what pair programming can teach us about working with AI.
This isn’t about choosing the best model. It’s about changing the way we think about and perceive AI for programming.
