Also got a couple decades, a ChatGPT Plus subscription on top of running my own local instance of Vicuna and access to Bard.
Enjoy it while it lasts. The training set (Stack Overflow) will dry as people move away from it, resulting in model degradation, resulting in not having a useful AI AND not having a useful SO
I admit to using AI, but only for what I was using SO before. Which is 0% of the work I actually get paid for (maintaining existing software that requires expert knowledge). For personal projects, sure, it's useful. Want to code something in a new language? Great. You'll still be a beginner, and will have contributed nothing to the body of knowledge that has trained the model you are using
- gfodor 3y agoWhat? You're jumping to so many conclusions here, it's absurd. You're going to have to go into research for a few years if you want to get anywhere on proving that the capability of the current systems is somehow determined by the presence of StackOverflow. Sounds like you have a very tall tower of speculative assumptions about LLMs today, LLMs in the future, the evolution of the web corpus, and other big, dynamic, absolutely unknowable things.
- collaborative 3y agoThis is starting to sound like a debate, but I feel that the burden of proof lies more in that LLMs are anything more than a blurry representation of the data they have been trained on than otherwise. I personally don't feel like I've brought Frankenstein to life each time I load a LLM into memory..
- esafak 3y agoI'll be really impressed the day models can generate code by just grokking the language spec and documentation.
