I really think that the term "Reverse Centaur" is underused (www.youtube.com)

I think that term is way better at describing what's happening.

... before we start talking about "Soul-sucking 12 hour shifts".

I don't think it's impossible that the underlying tech of LLMs will be evolved into something undeniably useful. But I don't think "helping with Python" will be that.

I think on !fuck_ai I can suggest, you could also just learn the relevant bits of Python? Learning to express your thoughts in code and understanding the tools you use feels way more empowering than relying on blackbox-extruded code.

    I do know the relevant bits of Python. Learning basic Python is just marginally harder than shouting at the screen, and adding numpy and some pyqt on top of that was also not impossible.

    It was simply an example of a field where LLMs are having a lot of success, all the more reasons that this should be done as efficiently as possible rather than using the same 10 trillion parameters model that is used for everything else.

    Secondly, I have heard positive things from people using LLM for instance to review their code, and they found it very very helpful, without the soul sucking effects of having it write all their code.

    That I would happily try on my own code, but not in Dario's cloud. And the price to get a local rig right now is way too high.
