i have seen this too in junior programmers. It is indeed bad but than i think of myself without internet and in some ways i too become handicapped like them unable to make meaningful progress without access to documentation so its a mixed bag.
Good programmers will learn to identify gaps and filling them so that they can better utilize the tools others would be left behind.
For senior programmers its an absolute productivity boost.
- sho_hn 3y agoYeah, agreed - if you know what you want, and can write the reqs to coax it out of the model, it's a great typing accelerator.
- diggan 3y ago> it's a great typing accelerator It's great at this, and I use it like this a lot. Like I know how to write the code, and exactly how I want it to be, but I faster describe that in words and let GPT4 write it out like I want it to, than to write it out myself. Even in the cases when the code isn't even boilerplate. Sometimes the system prompts need a bit of tuning, but time spent on that tends to even out after some usage.
