Root77448365dI enjoy AI autocomplete. It saves me a lot of typing. (Though its code suggestions almost always need fixing.)
If you use it as a pattern predictor, it’s grand. If you use it to summarize or understand things for you, you’re gonna have a bad time. -
qwwerty1146365dKeep in mind devs are quite specific community, i.e. agree on Copilot. I'm using it too and yeah, it's needs corrections but it's not bad.
Our corp also has private instance of GPT4. The decline of quality since last year is noticeable.
But the key part of statement is "gains their employers expect". Imagine all those CEOs sold on hype how GPT wrapper will generate 10x workers, now realizing it's not coming true and blaming own employees instead of their overinflated expectations. -
vane10559365dBoss: We have bought you AI so istead of doing you will be telling AI what to do, expecting 100% profit increase and we will let go 50% of our employees.
People: But we don't know how to speak with AI using our language
Boss: You just speak english, don't be so stupid.
People: It doesn't understand our english, we need prompt engineers to translate what we want to the prompts.
Boss: No you don't let me show you ... types something ...
AI: outputs some crap
Boss: Listen you little shit... -
Hazarth9129364dI like it for skeleton generation and shell script generation. Autocomplete is hit and miss but often it saves a couple seconds.
I also like it for UI stuff because I suck at UI and I hate writing it ( I don't work as frontend, i mean UI just for my personal projects)
