Comparing GPT-4 to a monkey with a typewriter , and claiming the absolute of “there’s no getting better from this” when we’ve literally seen dramatic progress in just months?
I think you’re missing out on some of the utility this stuff can actually provide .
And it will never do those things, because it’s an LLM and there are limits to what LLMs can do. There is no “getting better”, it will only sound better.
If it’s going to replace programming, the prompts simply cannot be more laborious than writing the damn code yourself in the first place.
LLMs are just the part of a much larger looping system that can do these things you speak of. Be active and seek out stuff. Of course, it’s all illusory, but I’m sorry I think it’s no different with myself.
By the way, it actually gives ok reviews on novel code, so I’m not sure what you mean. At some point nothing is truly novel, even innovation is composing existing “patterns” (at whatever abstraction level).
