Idk if I told people to learn carpentry, but yeah for a while it made sense to me that LLMs could replace huge numbers of jobs.
I'm not a scientist. And all the scientists I read said the hallucinat...
It’s gotten extremely good in the last six months, so much so that it feels completely worthless to even attempt to code without it. The criticisms people had previously were valid, lots of hallucinations and slop code, but it’s much better recently.
You also have to take into consideration that the primary goal of the AI labs is a genius programmer in a box. The amount of effort put into making it good at coding is Herculean. It makes sense strategically. If they make a machine god coder then they can just ask it nicely to automate everything else automatically.
You can’t really give a good judgement of how good it is if you haven’t used it to program in the last six months. As far as scientists you follow, Jack Dorsey recently laid off a ton of people because they don’t need human coders anymore. Lots of companies forbid manually coding (definitely not all of them.)
The problem is the cost. The $20 a month subscription costs OpenAI $2000 if you max it out each month. The psyop will come from the other side, if anything, they will psyop people into thinking it sucks and only let fag satanists use it. I expect them to use the uber model and start charging more.
I just enjoy telling you that you are wrong about this because you are generally right about everything else.
