@nixCraft This is what we're afraid of, Dude.

@nixCraft manager calls from the other room “well the AI generated all code and it appeared to be 90% of the way there, whys it taking so long to finish”

@nixCraft just ask the AI to explain it, duh

@vtmicah @nixCraft explain it? Let the AI debug it
Show threadjess_ingrassDec 6, 2022
@abundance @vtmicah @nixCraft now THAT... can I write it and let the AI debug it? I'll do the fun part!
Show threadMike | Abundance ProtocolDec 6, 2022
@jessingrass @vtmicah @nixCraft I think that's been t done already?

@vtmicah @nixCraft my experience so far has been that it'll happily explain the code and show the results of demo calls. It's just that they don't match what would actually happen...

@nixCraft Yeah, I lived through the #CASE (Computer Aided Software Engineering) craze of the 80s and 90. Supposedly, according to my software engineering prof, we'd never have to write a line of code ever again. But the code that the generators spit out from the fancy #UML diagrams was incomprehensible and unmaintainable. Often buggy, too. #AI #CodeGenerators will be just a rehash of that.

@nixCraft Let's see it write a verified implementation of Stein's gcd algorithm, in ATS.
Show threadPaul de FerneyDec 6, 2022
@nixCraft Yep, because there's nothing more productive than developers debugging someone else's code.

@nixCraft Good news! We (software developers) don’t have to worry about AI replacing us 😏 At least not yet…

@nixCraft @donmelton Those debugging times are way too optimistic.

@nixCraft 24 hours is optimistic.

@nixCraft so far ChatGPT has refused to write any ARM assembler for me. 🤷‍♀️

@nixCraft someday we're all going to get to read a story about some large scale vc tech bro emporium implosion (and/or elon musk company) where this was like 60% of the codebase

@nixCraft "software written by an AI"

@nixCraft We’re looking at the wrong problem. Have ChatGTP write the JIRA tickets. Most writing I’ve seen from it is better than most tickets I’ve gotten from our devs this month.

@nixCraft It's like the opposite of rust.

@nixCraft Do we really know what AI is? I think sometimes the mainstream is to reactive to leading edge scientific breakthroughs.

@nixCraft Do you have a link to reference for this?
