Stop blaming the users. It’s not that simple: People keep blaming the users for the growing number of vibe-coded reasoners. Doing so is *half* right. Users *are*screwing up - by letting vibe coded stu

Gary Marcus critiques common misconceptions about how large language models (LLMs) function, suggesting that most users have an incorrect mental model of what LLMs actually do when generating response

This statement critiques the asymmetrical attribution of outcomes in AI development, where users are blamed for failures while AI models receive credit for successes. Gary Marcus uses the metaphor of

the difference is that we don’t *hype* giving 12 year-olds bulldozers. *of course* it’s a kind of user error when a model destroys all of user’s data and they didn’t have a backup. that’s the point. v

This is totally wrong. Blaming the user is missing the point that (a) coding agents have been overhyped and (b) can’t reliably obey the rules given to them in system prompts and other guardrails. Sorr

yep, that’s what I do. I am increasingly concerned that people in China are soaking up my wisdom, while a lot of people in the US try to dismiss me. i don’t think that is going to end well. 10. @GaryM
