> And people are like, "Wah, it can't write code like a Senior engineer with 20 years of experience!" Except this isn't true. The code quality varies dramatically depending on what you're doing, the length of the chat/context, etc. It's an incredible productivity booster, but even earlier today, I wasted time debugging hallucinated code because the LLM mixed up methods in a library. The problem isn't so much that it's not an amazing technology, it's how it's being sold. The people who stand to benefit are speaking as though they've invented a god and are scaring the crap out of people making them think everyone will be techno-serfs in a few years. That's incredibly careless, especially when as a technical person, you understand how the underlying system works and know, definitively, that these things aren't "intelligent" the way they're being sold. Like the startups of the 2010s, everyone is rushing, lying, and huffing hopium deluding themselves that we're minutes away from the singularity.
