I took a web dev boot camp. If I were to use AI I would use it as a tool and not the motherfucking builder! AI gets even basic math equations wrong!
Can’t expect predictive text to be able to do math. You can get it to use a programming language to do it tho. If you ask it in a programmatic way it’ll generate and run it’s own code. Only way I got it to count the amount of r’s in strawrbrerry.
This is what happens when you don’t know what your own code does, you lose the ability to manage it, that is precisely why AI won’t take programmer’s jobs.
I don’t need ai to not know what my code does
The fact that “AI” hallucinates so extensively and gratuitously just means that the only way it can benefit software development is as a gaggle of coked-up juniors making a senior incapable of working on their own stuff because they’re constantly in janitorial mode.
It’ll just keep better at it over time though. The current ai is way better than 5 years ago and in 5 years it’ll be way better than now.
That’s certainly one theory, but as we are largely out of training data there’s not much new material to feed in for refinement. Using AI output to train future AI is just going to amplify the existing problems.
Bonus points if the attackers use ai to script their attacks, too. We can fully automate the SaaS cycle!
That is the real dead Internet theory: everything from production to malicious actors to end users are all ai scripts wasting electricity and hardware resources for the benefit of no human.
The Internet will continue to function just fine, just as it has for 50 years. It’s the World Wide Web that is on fire. Pretty much has been since a bunch of people who don’t understand what Web 2.0 means decided they were going to start doing “Web 3.0” stuff.
