Me too! I think its wayyy over-hyped. The biggest challenges in software are architecture. Object boundaries. System composition.
And I'm a big believer that all the software we write today is shit. So GPT is just regurgitating bad practices.
- fasterik 3y agoI think this is true for any domain of knowledge in ChatGPT. Its knowledge is shallow in a certain sense, but a lot of things don't require deep knowledge. Shallow knowledge generated very quickly can still be useful. I find ChatGPT to be very useful as a source of documentation. I can ask it to summarize a certain scientific topic for me, or how to do a certain thing in the Win32 API. I'm not going to take its output at face value, but it still speeds up the process of figuring out what I should research further, what function to call, etc.

- Terr_ 3y agoCome to think of it, there are entire human careers--or at least subtasks--based around the same concept. It also describes certain forms of advertising.
