@nixCraft this tells me more about the nvidia ceo than anything, and I'm not even against using LLMs to aid in coding-- but you gotta be smarter than the tool, otherwise you're just a fool with a hammer (everything will look like a nail)

@anthropy @nixCraft well, you have to be smart enough to know that the tool is a bigger idiot than you are, anyway.

The main use I can see for this is avoiding "blank page syndrome" if you're having trouble getting started on something.

@RandomDamage @nixCraft it can totally help you with that, boilerplate in general, advanced security analysis of crappy old hard to read code, and many more things- but you have to understand what it outputs, and if it makes sense, if not then you're just a fool with a hammer.

It isn't meant to obsolete people, people who imply this are basically saying nailguns made carpenters obsolete, which says more about the person making the statement, even if nailguns are useful tools in the right hands.
