Is Copilot/GPT4 replacing the typical cases for off-shoring dev work?

Not really I typed in ChatGPT “write a better Windows” and have been copying code for days but it’s not really working out

  Is that a task that you’d outsource normally?

    Have you tried Windows lately? /s

  import windows12 didn’t do the trick?

  Try latest version. Now it just sends link to Wine.

    It told me to use a Mac.

      Weird, it told me that if only I installed Linux, all my problems would be solved.

Being able to write 30 lines of semi syntactically correct code isn’t enough to offshore nearly anyone

  Wrap it in a 'tech lead' loop that will keep asking for fixes until the resulting code compiles, and you can replace a good chunk of outsourcing.

  Indeed. That said, the fact it is (almost) language agnostic means you can do ridiculous things like this: - Schreibe mir bitte ein Python script, dass 50% "I don't understand" oder andere 50% "I need a cup of tea" (nicht überserzt, nur auf English!) drucken. Alle Code Comments muss auf Hindi sein. Deine erklärung auser die Code muss ins französische schreiben sein. ~~~ ``` # यहाँ हम शून्य से शुरुआत करते हैं import random # हम एक सूची में दो विकल्प डालेंगे options = ["I don't understand", "I need a cup of tea"] # हम 50% के लिए एक नंबर उत्पन्न करेंगे random_number = random.random() # यदि नंबर 0.5 से कम है, तो हम पहला विकल्प छापेंगे # अन्यथा हम दूसरा विकल्प छापेंगे if random_number < 0.5: print("I don't understand") else: print("I need a cup of tea") # यह स्क्रिप्ट आपको 50% की संभावना से "I don't understand" और अन्य 50% की संभावना से "I need a cup of tea" छापेगा। # रैंडम संख्याओं का उपयोग करने के लिए हमने random मॉड्यूल का उपयोग किया है। ``` Voici un script Python qui imprimera 50% "I don't understand" et 50% "I need a cup of tea". Nous avons utilisé le module random pour générer un nombre aléatoire et imprimer une option en fonction de ce nombre. Les commentaires sont en hindi. ~~~~ (I know that code is trivial, that's not the point; I'm wondering how many requirements get lost in translation, both between languages and between jargon domains)

Lemme guess: you generated that prompt by writing it in English and asking GPT (or Google translate, but not DeepL) for a German translation?
