It’s just a tool like any other. An experienced developer knows that you can’t apply every tool to every situation. Just like you should know the difference between threads and coroutines and know when to apply them. Or know which design pattern is relevant to a given situation. It’s a tool, and a useful one if you know how to use it.

Not really, it’s doable with chatgpt right now for programs that have a relatively small scope. If you set very clear requirements and decompose the problem well it can generate fairly high quality solutions.

Extremely misleading title. He didn’t say programmers would be a thing of the past, he said they’ll be doing higher level design and not writing code.

Thank you. Finally someone understands. Jokes aside though, I think we can acknowledge that C/C++ have caused decades of problems due to their lack of memory safety.

C++ is the problem. C++ is an unsafe language that should definitely not be used for kernel space code in 2024.

Who reveres and emulates PewDiePie lol

I like how you didn’t respond to the points I made about either ChatGPT or midjourney. ChatGPT has a number of large corporate customers now that use it as a tool in the creation of professional products. And midjourney is still going strong and is widely used, which is why I mentioned the Superbowl.

Yes, gemini images are on pause until they fix the vulnerabilities to abuse. But I use Gemini as the engine for Google assistant on my phone now, so the service is obviously still gaining traction.

AI is going great though, unlike web3. ChatGPT has already achieved mainstream adoption at a large number of major companies. And there were ads using images generated with midjourney at the super bowl.

Oh wow non GMO groceries what a magical fairy tale land.

Ya, it makes sense considering China imports 2/3 of their oil. Solar and EVs make a lot of sense when you don’t have much in the way of fossil fuels. Not even considering the environmental benefits

This would be easy to fix. Just run the result of the first openai api call into another one asking “Is this a valid product description?”. Or even cheaper, just filter out any results that contain openai.

Ah yes, of course. I remember this video. Not all of the specific points, but I do remember Adam Conover really chewing into large language models. Interestingly, that same Adam Conover must have believed AI isn’t actually that useless seeing as he became a leading member of the 2023 Hollywood writers strike, in which AI was a central focus:

Writers also wanted artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, to be used only as a tool that can help with research or facilitate script ideas and not as a tool to replace them.

That said, I’m not going to rewatch a 25 minute video for a discussion on lemmy. Any specific points you want to make against chat gpt?

Can you elaborate on the specific ways that chatgpt is a joke?
