If I Were An LLM: Lessons Learned In 2025
"Where do I even begin? Fun fact about how humans used me and others like Copilot in 2025: August brought a unique twist: programming and gaming topics started to overlap in unexpected ways. Our data showed that users were just as likely to dive into coding projects as they were to explore games-but on different days of the week! This crossover hints at a vibrant, creative community that loves to code during the week and play during the weekends in equal measure [1]."
"Many of the failed AI pilots had a common pattern: new tool, old processes. In February, the AI-centered ATD TechKnowledge conference heard the same story over and over again: top-mandated AI implementation-we have Copilot, but adoption is low. We need training. The same story resonated during the AI summit in the fall with DevLearn: how do we help adoption? How do we close the AI skills gap?"
Users in 2025 showed crossover between programming and gaming, coding during weekdays and gaming on weekends, indicating a creative community. Acceptance of errors and iterative learning emerged as core attitudes: being wrong is acceptable, but repeating mistakes without correction is not. Many AI pilot failures followed a pattern of introducing new tools without changing existing processes, leading to low Copilot adoption despite mandates. Conferences reported organizations needing training and workflow redesign. Organizations that achieved impact rewired how people request help, practice, and receive feedback, integrating AI into daily work rather than layering it onto current processes.
