same with chatgpt. when i ask it to do things i know a lot about, i am often time shocked how bad the code is that it generates and often does different stuff. makes me wonder about the code that i ask it to generate to do things i dont know about. haha.
- FinnLobsien 2y agotypical Gell-Mann amnesia. I write a lot so I see this when I've used AI to generate writing. If I ask it to generate something that I understand: "Wow this is the most surface level garbage anyone could create by reading one SEO-optimized article" When it's about something I don't know anything about: "Wow it's impressive how far AI has come" What I do find AI super useful for is finding stuff like metaphors. "I want to find a metaphor between product-led vs. sales-led growth strategies for startups. Please give me a list of 10 i could use" Those prompts are incredibly useful. I reckon there's some type of analogy with coding here.
- atrettel 2y agoI've done the same thing for the subject that I did my PhD in, and oh boy is the result weird. It is somewhat right at a high level but most of the low-level details are wrong at worst or confused at best. The explanation is incredibly shallow and misses so many important aspects that matter when implementing the idea in practice. It repeatedly refers to Mark Morkovin as "Nikolai Morkovin". And it even makes up a citation as a reference, though knowing this subject deeply I recognize that it seems to have combined two different references from 1962 and 1977 into a single nonexistent reference.
