do people just use ai all day to code?
a lot of times I can't write even basic code just because how good ai is.
I really wonder what kind of code those people write, because GitHub copilot is a code completion tool that is only better than the normal IDE code completion like 20% of the time, and chatgpt is useless for anything more complex than things you can copy paste from Google, which is also a tiny minority of the code.
Ai is extremely useful for coding when used properly in my experience. It can’t complete large tasks and mistakes do happen but it’s good for moving 20% faster
I found that Claude/chatgpt/gemini/copilot are all 'helpers'. Mainly good for line completions or writing very basic code. As soon as there is slight complication, they give useless or error infested code. I gave a piece of code to restructure and it messed up bad. It will get better over time but as of now our jobs are safe.
Yeha and I’ve given it leetcode problems before. If the problem is known it will solve it accurately. If it’s not known or a changed version of a known one it will get it wrong and you have to tell it where it’s wrong and it will be confidently wrong. This tells me it’s 100% about pattern recognition and doesn’t have true critical thinking skills. It also tells me the future won’t be much better until we get either a different way to model artificial intelligence other than reading a lot of data and finding patterns or much stronger computers (quantum computing for example). I believe that the more scalable approach requires an entirely new way of modeling intelligence and I believe AI is a bubble and will pop. If we just add more data it won’t improve a lot because of diminishing returns.
I use it all day and can code.
yet you work at Uber
Developers write code. Engineers build systems. There is a whole lot more to building systems than “writing code”
No you dumbo
No it’s not really even usable most of the time
I just watched my team try various prompts to try to get a new LLM integration to do a simple task. After 30+ attempts from various team members, it started becoming more pathetic than funny
The captions are listed horizontally instead of vertically in the meme. Ironic
yea it's ai generated😂 I didn't expect it to get it right
