People expect perfection right out of the gate.
I mean damn, AI has only been able to write something resembling code for a few years now. The fact that this is even a headline is pretty amazing when you think about it.
AI apologia is nearly as cringy as MAGA apologia. Stop doing this.
Haven't you ever seen Star Trek and been amazed by the holodeck? How do you think they got there?
WTF is up with people today using fictional bullshit as grounds to argue dumb shit?
Star Trek isn’t real. Please tell me you understand this. It’s very important to you that you do.
No need to be deliberately obtuse and insulting.
It's pretty clear that the holodeck's ability to create a complicated program from a basic prompt is analogous to LLM output.
If too many people have your attitude, we'll never get there.
Oh for fucks sake. You’re a troll and I fell for it. That’s on me.
I'm having a sensible conversation and you're freaking the fuck out for no reason.
Freaking out? I’m laughing my ass off! Either you’re a damn good troll, or you actually think Star Trek is real look at a real future.
Either way, it’s funny!
Magnets clearly.
A lot of LLM hype is wrapped up in how well it can write code. This hype is being used by corporations to justify pouring mind boggling amounts of money into the tech in the hopes that they can lay off all their staff.
I reserve the right to hate this state of affairs and enjoy seeing every headline that shows just how much of a pipe dream it is.
I don't mind imperfections while they work out the kinks. I dislike dismantling industries in favor of something that doesn't work yet.
