"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

No because the nail gun is a proper tool that has been made properly.

But actually thanks for making me think about it, because my example is inaccurate. It's not like shooting in the wall, but more like giving a gun to a trained monkey and telling it to shoot at the wall.

Sure, you can wear a helmet and tell people to duck so they don't get shot, and sure it is easier than using a hammer yourself. However everyone would agree that it's stupid as fuck.

LLMs don't understand code. They don't understand anything at all, to be exact.

So why on earth would you give to a tool that has the sole purpose of bullshitting convincingly, the task of doing skilled labor on complex systems?

Also, in your example, a nailgun would be a framework or whatever, that is making your job easier. It still has to be reliable. In no way could AI be likened to that.

Idk, but I bet if you gave an LLM to a monkey it would still build better software than Microsoft.
