That just.. doesn’t work that way. Edit: besides, if it could work you lose the competitive edge. I could describe a much faster more cost effective system which the machine can implement. And we are off to the races again..

If/when it is a generally capable intelligence it very much does work that way. That's how it worked with humans. We saw that stuff needed to work at scale and created something to achieve that.

  I guess you are right about AGI. I think (hope) that is still off in the distance. We’d have other problems than scaling crud apps, I think.

    >I think (hope) that is still off in the distance. It's being rumored that OpenAI is currently training GPT-5 which will be ready in December, and that many people in the company think it will be a human or better level AGI. Even if it isn't the consistently supersonic jumps they are making every generation suggests we don't have long until human brains are outmoded legacy hardware. >We’d have other problems than scaling crud apps, I think. Ever since I first interacted with the original GPT-3 in 2020 I've had the realization that our future was going to be curtailed and distorted into an inconceivable Escher piece. It seems that future is nearly upon us.

      My first encounter with GPT-3 messed me up too. Interesting. I'm all over the place with this. Some days I think it's no big deal, but sometimes I'll get angsty about it. Today, for example, I'm using it to generate some animations and stuff I generally don't like dealing with (math problems). I remember spending hours on this and not getting anywhere. This thing makes all that effort seem like handcoding websites in the era of templates. Whenever it hits my direct line of work I'm like "no way that thing works, see, it did this small thing wrong and it proves it is fundamentally incapable of anything". When I use it for domains outside of my expertise I switch to "yeah, sure, but this was either already exceedingly obvious and/or nonsense busy-work to begin with". News at 11: developer is arrogant.
