Since you critiqued my post, allow me to reciprocate: I sense the same deflector shields in you as many others here. I’d suggest embracing these products with a sense of optimism until proven otherwise and I’ve found that path leads to some amazing discoveries and moments where you realize how important and exciting this tech really is. Try out math that is too hard for you or programming languages that are labor intensive or languages that you don’t know. As the GitHub CEO said: this technology lets you increase your ambition.
It is even worse in non-programming domains, where they chop up 100 websites and serve you incorrect bland slop.
If you are using them as a search helper, that sometimes works, though 2010 Google produced better results.
Oracle dropped 11% today due to over-investment in OpenAI. Non-programmers are acutely aware of what is going on.
Said in a sweeping generalization with zero sense of irony :D
I can recognize the short comings of AI code but it can produce a mock or a full blown class before I can find a place to save the file it produced.
Pretending that we are all busy writing novelty and genius is silly, 99% are writing for CRUD tasks and basic business flows, the code isn’t going to be perfect it doesn’t need to be but it will get the job done.
All the logical gotchas of the work flows that you’d be refactoring for hours are done in minutes.
Use pro with search… are it going to read 200 pages of documentation in 7 minutes come up with a conclusion and validate it or invalidate it in another 5? No you still trying accept the cookie prompt on your 6th result.
You might as well join the flat earth society if you still think that AI can’t help you complete day to day tasks.
Not even remotely true. Oracle is building out infrastructure mostly for AI workloads. It dropped because it couldn’t explain its financing and if the investment was worth it. OpenAI or not wouldn’t have mattered.
Contemporary LLMs still have huge limitations and downsides. Just like hammer or a saw has limitations. But millions of people are getting good value out of them already (both LLMs and hammers and saws). I find it hard to believe that they are all deluded.
