I bet it slows down the idiot software developers more than anything.

Everything can be broken into smaller easily defined chunks and for that AI is amazing.

Give me a function in Python that if I provide it a string of XYZ it will provide me an array of ABC.

The trick is knowing how it fits in your larger codebase. That’s where your developer skill is. It’s no different now than it was when coding was offshored to India. We replaced Ravinder with ChatGPT.

Edit - what I hate about AI is the blatant lying. I asked it for some ServiceNow code Friday and it told me to use the sys_audit_report table which doesn’t exist. I told it so and then it gave me the sys_audit table.

The future will be those who are smart enough to know when AI is lying and know how to fix it when it is. Ideally you are using AI for code you can do, you just don’t want to. At least that’s my experience. In that, it’s invaluable.

Sigh. The responses you got really dishearten me. We really are moving fast to a binary world where everything is good or bad and any opportunity for nuance is thrown out the window.

You are of course 100% correct.

Or maybe just maybe he’s not massively misinformed but it reading things differently hence no need to back down?

For context I read this.

Nothing in there states he’s wrong simply he is interpreting things differently and his interpretation does not align with yours.

Also, complex but I doubt you are in the business of making games so I’m confident he probably has additional context forming his viewpoint which you do not.

Again, god forbid people have opinions. Is this where we are in the terms of discourse now? We are not allowed to disagree because one side feels they are “right”?

Fyi I have no skin in the game.

What did PS say?

Edit - nevermind. He had a well thought out opposing viewpoint which you disagree with.

God forbid there should be a healthy discourse on a matter.
