Good post by David Golumbia on ChatGPT and how miserable it all is :rat-salute-2:
Let’s be honest. ChatGPT is copying code snippets from StackOverflow with varying levels of correctness. I guess that is what people were doing anyways though.
No it isn’t connected to the internet any longer and it creates novel code for requests in plain English that are extremely specific and niche
The more specific you get the more wrong it tends to get though, it really starts messing up on the small details.
And this time last year it was much worse and couldn’t even do the more generic requests. It will continue to refine.
Remember, automation doesn’t need to be better than humans at coding. It just needs to be good enough to function, and then it will take over because it’s basically free
