See, for coding AI makes a lot of sense, since a lot of it is very tedious. You still need to understand the output to be able to debug it and make novel programs though, because the limitation is that the LLM can only recreate code its seen before in fairly generic configurations.
Right, I agree with the author of the article that LLMs are great at tackling boring code like boilerplate, and freeing you up to actually do stuff that's interesting.
Turns out my assumptions about how LLM-assisted programming works were completely wrong or outdated. This new way sounds super efficient.
Yogthos is really relentless with all these AI posts. You're not fighting for the poor defenseless AI technologies against the tyrannical masses with these posts.
People are clearly pissed off at the current state of these technologies and the products of it. I would have expected that here out of all places that the current material reality would matter more than the idealistic view of what could be done with them.
I don't mean for this comment to sound antagonistic, I just feel that there's more worthwhile things to focus on than pushing back against people annoyed by AI-generated memes and comics and calling them luddites.
This post is about what could be done with them though. It's not about image generators, it's about coding agents. LLMs are really good at programming certain things and it's gotten to the point where avoiding them puts you at a needless disadvantage. It's not like artisanally typed code is any better than what the bot generates.
