Comment on ChatGPT Is Still a Bullshit Machine

No, just struggling people never cared to teach themselves how to use the product.

How can chatgpt improve my software engineering life? I don’t mind the copilot PR stuff, but that is so small potatoes haha and saves me like an hour of my day reviewing junior code (which I should be doing by hand anyway, I don’t want to offload that to the toaster, I want my juniors knowing it was me reviewing their code). What else does chatgpt offer for me, an engineer who’s been doing this for over a decade now? I know how to create greenfield technology. I have created video conferencing applications that were HIPAA compliant, implemented authentication a bazillion times in every configuration, I’ve built a flight search and booking engine (with PCI compliance because American Express was a client), I’ve built CI tools for companies that automatically rewrote your PRs to use the company tech stack and committed on your behalf and fixed your PRs for you (we had a custom standard library that was easy to not use and our bot would rewrite your code using it).
I’m just saying, I deal with problems that ChatGPT is horrible at solving. ChatGPT does not know how to build video conferencing. It does not know how to do HIPAA compliance. It does not know about PCI compliance.
It has to be able to do all of this while justifying its energy costs. I’m a human being first and foremost and I see every day the destruction humans are doing to this planet. Lots of people dying in floods in the US, and that is definitely humans impact. I need to justify it.

Sure, and people who buy wheelchairs should teach themselves to walk.

The point of chat bots is that you are not supposed to need to know how to use them.

LLM is not a chatbot.
