The problem is that LLMs inherently lack the virtue of laziness
Simon Willison 行业观点 入门 Impact: 7/10
Bryan Cantrill argues that LLMs lack human laziness, which forces us to create elegant abstractions—and without this constraint, AI will make systems larger, not better.
Key Points
- LLMs lack the natural constraint of laziness that human programmers have
- Humans, with limited time, are forced to develop crisp abstractions; LLMs have no such pressure
- Without the laziness constraint, LLMs will keep adding layers, leading to bloated systems
- This trait can lead to 'vanity metrics' — larger systems rather than better ones
- Understanding this helps developers use LLMs more effectively in practice
