Next to AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), NA (Narcotics Anonymous) and GA (Gamblers Anonymous) There will soon be AIGA (artificial Intelligence Gamblers Anonymous).

Cory Doctorow's hypothesis:
Glyph proposes that many LLM-assisted programmers who speak highly of the reliability and value of AI tools are falling prey to two cognitive biases:
The "availability heuristic" (striking things are easier to remember, which is why we remember the very rare instances of kids being kidnapped and killed, but rarely think about the relatively common phenomenon of kids dying in boring car-crashes); and
The "salience heuristic" (big things are easier to remember, which is why we double-check that the oven is turned off and the smoke alarms are working after our neighbor's house burns down).
