I realized that, even though I don't use LLMs for work, the fact that they exist was making me feel inadequate whenever I felt I wasn't operating at LLM-like speeds. And because I'm generally not, this was making me miserable.
So I'm telling myself, and whoever else needs to hear it, to stop comparing yourself to the slop machines. Thinking calmly and thoroughly is worth something, even in an age where society at large seems to believe they can replace it with pushing a button.
