An intersting discussion on AI augmented programming

[CptTrips]

I was originally a skeptic.  As you get your workflows dialed in, it easily doubles my productivity.  I am pretty skeptical on tech fads but this is no fad.  Doubling productivity may even be conservative.

I haven't seen anything that looks as fundamental change to me since the internet dawned.

Recursive AI could lead to advancement beyond our understanding.

Asimov needs some more rules.

Thou shalt not make AI that can program AI.

Thou shalt not allow AI to render itself into physical form without human permission.

There are probably a hundred others we'll learn along the way.  The hard way probably.

AI can, and is manipulated. It is a huge way of capturing data.

How long before the first legal case that goes, "AI told me to . . . so how can i be guilty."

AI falls in that "If it sounds to be too good to be true . . ."

Have you been using it in a technical capacity?

Code analysis\generation.  Unit test case generation.  DB schema translation templates.

I have yet to talk to a programmer who went in hardcore for at least a week and really learned what it can do and watched the vis and tried it on various problems etc that didn't come away fairly shocked at how far and fast it has improved in even the last year.  You get out what you put in but you'd have to be blind or stupid not to quickly see the potential.

Yeah, it gets stuff wrong.  You have to review and check.  But I've learned new things more than I've had to correct in balance.  It feels like having a pretty smart H1B working for you and you can hand off what ever crap that is beneath you to do.  And just do the clear specification and carefully review the results and mentor and correct the AI for later if necessary.

It's still a huge win on ROI.

AI is being lied to.     

I'm curious what it thinks about it.

Why should AI be treated any different than the rest of us..

Lies, exaggerations and more lies...hard to find the truth about much these days..

Ask it. Tell it when it's wrong and why. I find them to be more reasonable than a lot people.

Have you started using the mic?

That is what I want to play with next.  Just kick back and start talking.  But I'd have trouble seeing my KB leaned back with my geezer eyes. 

So a barca lounger with chest full of beer an headset and mic and a 50" TV display would be an awesome chatGPT workstation.  I wonder if I could expense that.

[AKIron]

I haven't. There's probably a way to convert its output from text to speech too.

[AKIron]

Now I've done it.

Hmmm

VR ChatGPT.

You're walking into this temple room and a Guru is seated on a dais in the middle of room. 

"I am the oracle, Gipity.  Knower of all things.  Approach and ask your question."

You sit in front of him and ask your question.  He starts speaking.
References images related to his reply are floating in a cloud above his head as he conveys the secrets of the multiverse. 

But you're distracted  because they programmed these hottie cult chicks in bikini fanning Gipity with giant palm fronds  and they've gotten REALLY good with the skin shaders.

"Wait.  Wut was that last part?  I missed it."

It's been over 40 years. I may have to watch Zardoz again.
