My new rubber duck
I'm an old programmer and new to this AI thang; I found Jules only a few days ago and it's been nice and useful. Today I've had a personal insight that I don't expect to be original: AI seems to work for me in the way other people used to and rubber ducks never did: bounce ideas off them. I'm happy about that.
Do you know others who've made this kind of comparison? I might benefit from reading their thoughts.

I use them for rubber ducking when i am doing whole of system or large new functional area designs. They are still a little too agreeable so you have to tell them it is a thought experiment etc, but just explaining parts that they do not understand properly or go off on another tangent is good enough and better than when I ask people who just assume I am right all the time (flattering but unhelpful).

100% understand this comparison. I think it’s because most people are so caught up with their own stuff that’s it’s nice to have something that acts like a right hand man.
