It’s been incredibly helpful to me. It helped me figure out how to get docker containers setup. It’s even helped me figure out how to run data analysis on graph data. It’s not just made things simpler – it’s made things possible.
Explain it to ChatGPT and it gets you 95% there.
It's a huge time saver. Sure you could do it by browsing the web and sticking together a bunch of pieces, rewrite it twice etc.
Already I didn’t realise my docker container was saving data to the NON-PERSISTENT data volume. But that was a greater reflection of Chatgpt taking me beyond my knowledge limits, and me being in a place where my ignorance of my ignorance can lead to not-great consequences.
Nice slogan... is this an ad?
My ChatGPT experience is not that different from the "good old days" of searching the internet. This time the search is in latent space which has up- and downsides.
But all these things were possible before ChatGPT.
If I was more intelligent I would be less impressed with it because I would probably already know what it has taught me. I understand the thermodynamics of that submarine implosion now but if I had taken any kind of physics I would have already known all that. I didn't take physics though. This pretty much extends to all subjects.
I will have to have it teach me to setup docker containers.
The exercise I really need to get on is to try make something in a language that I have no clue about. Like Rust or Go I know nothing other than they are programming languages. Then it is an exercise in the skill of going from zero to not zero with the help of AI and that not zero will hopefully keep scaling up and up over time.
