"When AI is used properly" is a very very loaded statement.
Especially since evidence shows code is one of the worst things its good at, it' a lot better at other tasks.
- pixiemaster 2y agoevery expert i talk to says: „LLMs are not good for my domain, but for $other_domain“
- diggan 2y agoPut another way: "LLMs are great when I don't have lots of experience in the domain but want to do something in that domain. Otherwise, my own brain works better"
- motoxpro 2y agoId argue it's the opposite. If you have extremely deep knowledge you can constrain the problem and get a great answer. i.e. boilerplate for X. Boilerplate is only boilerplate because you have a certain level of knowledge.
- motoxpro 2y agoCode is one of the only things LLMs ARE good at. At this point, asking an LLM to "implement feature X please" is not going to give you great results. however, unless you can type at 600 wpm, an LLM doing extremely trivial boilerplate code completion is a godesend.
