A friend likened LLMs treating "any retrieved piece of information on a topic / triggered by a prompt as equally valuable and truthful, to the "normalize" feature of DAW software, wherein every sound in a track is adjusted to have equal amplitude, resulting in a bewildering, psychotic-seeming soundscape." The language of the latter 2020s will be akin to drums of the 1980s, the equalizer kicked up high, every paragraph hitting with the intensity of the Phil Collins fill in "In The Air Tonight".

Thinking about how the tasks that people who praise AI as coding helpers are doing might be better served by more expressive (and indeed consistent) languages.
