It does increase productivity, given enough training, learning its advantages and limitations.
People keep saying this based on gut feeling, but the only study I’ve seen showed that even experienced devs that thought they were faster were actually slower.
Gundam wing: endless waltz
The major thing holding LLMs back is that they don’t actually understand or reason. They purely predict in the dimension of text. That is a fundamental aspect of the technology that isn’t going to change. To be as good as you’re saying requires a different technology.
Also, alot of what you see people say they’re doing today is strongly exaggerated…
AI tools will improve and in the near future
There isn’t a good reason to believe they’ll be as good as you’re saying.
You’re the sane one.
People keep saying this. I don’t want to work with an especially junior dev. I’ve been doing that my while career and the only thing good about it is that they get better.
Linux doesn’t use semver.
Funny how they have huge successful lobbies for everything but this eh
Roko’s basilisk is just regifted Pascal’s wager and should be treated with the same level of respect (none)
The point is to make generative AI sound more intelligent/human/powerful than it is. It’s also complete hogwash and the real title should be “llms generate text that they’re directly prompted to”
I’ve found that laughing in their faces and putting in 2 weeks is fairly effective at breaking that wall. Amazing what money they can find when faced with the alternative. Otherwise, the correct move is to actually leave. All of you cowards that submit to the machine make it worse for everyone.
Running those power hungry gpu based data centers is going to cost beaucoup bucks regardless of the usage.
They started in the first page and hit fill force on 2 lol
We believe that AI is no longer a hype cycle, which is why we’re writing blog posts hyping us up for using AI instead of what we actually provide
I don’t use retro achievements because games are supposed to be fun rather than about checking boxes.
You’re falling for the “we’ve constructed this machine to tell you no so you can’t argue with us” ploy
There are plenty of cross platform frameworks and libraries that don’t involve web tech
I still prefer perl over either tbh
I find it interesting that all these low participation/new accounts have come out of the woodwork to pump up AI in the last 2 weeks. I’m so sick of having this slop clogging up my feed. You’re literally saying that your vibes are more important than actual data, just like all the others. I’m sorry, but its not.
My experience btw, is that llms produce hot garbage that takes longer to fix than if I wrote it myself, and all the people that say “but it writes my unit tests for me!” are submitting garbage unit tests, that often don’t even exercise the code, and are needlessly difficult to maintain. I happen to think tests are just as important as production code so it upsets me.
The biggest thing that the meteoric rise of developers using LLMs has done for me is confirm just how many people in this field are fucking terrible at their jobs.
