I ignore AI/ML tech just like I ignore a burgeoning JS framework because I fail to see practical uses in my daily work since I don't use them. I'm the software engineer type that likes solving business problems and don't see the value in things like writing a new programming language or a new compiler, etc. I'll wait for others to explore those research endeavors and for something to become more mainstream.
Can someone explain a TL;DR of practical uses in software engineering for ChatGPT? I'm not looking for explanations of what is possible or the potential, just actual use cases where it helped solve a business problem.
- spicyusername 4y agoI recently asked it to generate a Python function, with type annotations, to query a vSphere server and return all the virtual machine objects using the PyVmomi library. It returned a perfectly working function. I recently asked it to generate a Gitlac CI file to format, plan, and apply a Terraform plan. It also produced most of what I needed. I think its going to end up being a solid replacement for using Google and Stack Overflow for many people.
