A tangent, I feel, again, unfortunately, the AI is going to divide society into people who can use the most powerful tools of AI vs those who will be only be using chatGPT at most (if at all).

I don't know why I keep worrying about these things. Is it pointless?

I do feel this divide, but from what I've read, and ehat I've observed, it's more a divide between people who understand the limited use-cases where machine learning is useful, and people who believe it should be used wherever possible.

For software engineering, it is useless unless you're writing snippets that already exist in the LLMs corpus.

If I give something like Sonnet the docs for my JS framework, it can write code "in it" just fine. It makes the occasional mistake, but if I provide proper context and planning up front, it can knock out some fairly impressive stuff (e.g., helping me to wire up a shipping/logistics dashboard for a new ecom business).

That said, this requires me policing the chat (preferred) vs. letting an agent loose. I think the latter is just opening your wallet to model providers but shrug.
