"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Maybe it's just me but the few times I ask a language model to do some repetitive code for me, it fails. Sometimes it gets a few variables mixed up but you wouldn't notice if you didn't understand your code.
If this is being used in mass, I'm very concerned for the future of software.

I assume you meant en masse
You are correct.
Nobody thought they meant Massachusetts... Don't be pedantic.
Nobody, including me. You can see that if you read what I wrote.
