It doesn’t do that for things rarely done before though. And it’s poisoned with opinions from the internet. E.g. you can convince it that we have to remove bullshit layers from programming and make it straightforward. It will even print a few pages of vague bullet points about it, if not yet. But when you ask it to code, it will dump a react form.
I’m not trying to invalidate experiences itt, cause I have a similar one. But it feels futile as we are stuck with our pre-AI bloated and convoluted ways of doing things^W^W making lots of money and securing jobs by writing crap nobody understands why, and there’s no way to undo this or to teach AI to generalize.
I think this novelty is just blindness to how bad things are in the areas you know little about. For example, you may think it solves the job when you ask it to create a button and a route. And it does. But the job wasn’t to create a route, load and validate data and render it on screen in a few pages and files. The job was to take a query and to have it on screen in a couple of lines. Yes it helps writing pages of our nonsense, but it’s still nonsense. It works, but feels like we have fooled ourselves twice now. It also feels like people will soon create AI playbooks for structuring and layering their output, cause ability to code review it will deteriorate in just a few years with less seniors and much more barely-coders who get into it now.
