The "I" in AI is just complete bullshit and I can't understand why so many people are in a awe of a bit of software that chains words to another based on some statistical model.

The sad truth is that ChatGPT is about as good an AI as ELIZA was in 1966, it's just better (granted: much better) at hiding its total lack of actual human understanding. It's nothing more than an expensive parlor trick, IMHO.

Github CoPilot? Great, now I have to perform the most mentally taxing part of developing software, namely understanding other people's code (or my own from 6 months ago...) while writing new code. I'm beyond thrilled ...

So, no, I don't have an AI fatigue, because we absolutely have no AI anywhere. But I have a massive bullshit and hype fatigue that is getting worse all the time.

I'm sorry I don't want it to get much smarter.

It you ask it to go through and comment code it does a pretty good job of that.

some things better than others(not that great at CSS)

need a basic definition of something. got it.

tell it to write a function it's not bad.

As a BA just tell it what your trying to do and what questions it should ask users. It will get some good ideas for you.

Want it to be a PM have create a loop asking every 10 minutes if your done yet.

Is it a senior engineer? no. can it pass a senior engineering interview? quite possibly.

debug code hit or miss.

I think the big thing it's not that great at front end code. It can't see so that probably makes sense. a fine-tuned version of clip that interacted with a browser would probably be pretty scary.

What's the point of letting it comment code? The programmer who reads the code can run it as well.
