“spar with equals”
“AI is a sparring partner,”? Let’s be honest:
You only spar with equals. You don’t spar with someone who needs step-by-step instruction just to throw a competent jab.
If the model needs five rounds of correction to stop producing:
  • generic filler
  • hallucinated logic
  • template content
  • tone mismatches then we’re not sparring we’re coaching an undertrained intern with infinite stamina.
Iteration should refine good output. It shouldn’t have to salvage weak reasoning, missing context, and shallow pattern-matching disguised as intelligence.
And blaming users like “you just need to stay in the conversation” is a convenient way to avoid admitting the obvious:
If the first pass isn’t usable, that’s not a user error that’s a model limitation.
People don’t expect AI to be magic. They expect it to be competent. If it can’t meet the baseline, no amount of “sparring” fixes that.
You spar with equals. You babysit everything else.
