Just so you know, almost nobody who is awake is believing anything like this after what happened to Charlie Kirk.

ratrace··on Engineers who dismiss AI
My regular, daily experience with 'AI':

'How do I do [X thing I need to accomplish in codebase]?'

"Here is here how you would do that."

Then I apply the code and it's broken and doesn't work.

'The code you supplied is broken because of [xyz], can you fix it?'

"Of course, you're so right! My apologies. Here is the corrected code."

It still doesn't work. Repeat this about 2-3 more times and throw in me deleting the entire chat window and context and trying again in a new chat with slightly different phrasing of question to maybe get it to output the right answer this time, which it often doesn't.

I hate it. It's awful and terrible. Fundamentally, this technology will never not be terrible, because it is just predicting text tokens based off of probabilistic statistics.
