I actually do think this is a legitimate concern, but at the same time I feel like when higher-level languages were introduced people likely experienced a similar dilemma: you just let the compiler generate the code for you without actually knowing what you're running on the CPU?
Definitely something to tread carefully with, but it's also likely an inevitable aspect of progressing software development capabilities.
- sanj 2y agoA compiler is deterministic. An LLM is not.
- poslathian 2y agoPlace and routing compilers used in semiconductor design are not. Ironically, simulated annealing is the typical mechanism and is by any appropriate definition, imo, a type of AI. Whatever you do in your life using devices that run software are proof that these tools are effective for continuing to scale complexity. Annoying to use also ;)
