In a long term relationship of over 10 years and a kid. No plans on marriage. We get the same legal benefits here regardless of whether you get married or not.
Molten metal flowing slower/faster depending on the machine speed looks rather strange.
Is this the same thing that they sell as "spruce beer"?
Its no excuse for fast and loose research with so much loss of life.
Totally agree. But your previous comment is implying that there were no gains, not that the costs are too great for the gains, and that's the part that I'm disputing.
A cheaper version of something that already existed?
Implying this is useless? Lots of cool stuff exist already but are too expensive to be useful.
Isn't the US the one place that actually pays devs properly?
Honey water? Delicious. Sugar water? Disgusting. Try it for yourself.
But do you like ethanol? Because if not, then you actually like acetobacter more than vinegar.
It's also the recipe for some types of bread. The difference is in the ratios and how you apply heat.
I always buy the cheapest pasta available and they've always been good. Just last week, the store brand (Complements) was cheapest for the first time I've seen, and it was also my first time experiencing bad pasta. I don't know what they did differently, but there's clearly a way to mess it up.
I wonder if it might be the specific type of work that you do that allows for this. I don't pay for ChatGPT, so I wouldn't know the quality of the code it outputs with GPT-4, but I personally wouldn't blindly trust any code that comes out of it regardless, meaning I'd have to read through and understand all the generated code (do you save time by skipping this part maybe?), and reading code always takes longer and is overall more difficult than writing it. On top of that, the actual coding part only accounts for a small fraction of the work I do. So much of it is spend deciding what to code in order to reach a certain end goal, and a good chunk of the coding (in my case at least) is for things that are much easier to describe with code than words. So I'm still finding it hard to imagine how you could possibly get anything more than a 1.5x output improvement.
The main time savings I've found with generative AI is in writing boilerplate code, documentation, or writing code for a domain that I'm intimately familiar with since those are very easy to skim over and immediately know if the output is good or not.
If your job truly is in danger, then not touching AI tools isn't going to change that. The best you can do for yourself is to explore what these tools can do for you and figure out if they can help you become more productive so that you're not first on the chopping block. Maybe in doing so, you'll find other aspects of programming that you enjoy just as much and don't yet get automated away with these tools. Or maybe you'll find that they'll not all they're hyped up to be and ease your worry.
