“I keep thinking there's going to be a job called imagination engineer. It's a better version of prompt engineer for most normal people, where your job is to come up with weird scenarios the AI wouldn't think of on its own. Like in that pipette video: what if an earthquake happened?” — Gavin Purcell, AI For Humans: Weekly AI News, Tools & Trends

“You should wait to talk about your models until they are in the hands of everybody. This idea that we get a column of benchmarks that say it's 10% better than X, Y and Z has been proven again and again not to reflect practical use cases, not just for people like us doing semi-dumb stuff, but also for the high-end people.” — Gavin Purcell, AI For Humans: Weekly AI News, Tools & Trends
