Funny how devs here used to love bragging about how their job isn't to write code and that they shouldn't be measured on LOC.
Now suddenly the problem is that AI can't write a lot of code.
- stavros 1y agoNo, the problem is the AI can't avoid making mistakes often. I'm not measuring it on LOC.
- surgical_fire 1y agoBoth can be true. LLMs have an unsolvable problem of "hallucination". It is a bad description of what the problem is because hallucination is all they do, it just also happens to be correct in many cases. The larger the codebase or the problem space, the less accurate LLMs tend to be. And developers to a lot more than generating LOC.
- JohnBooty 1y agoNow suddenly the problem is that AI can't write a lot of code. That's not the problem at all. AI can obviously write lots of code faster than a human. The problem is that AI can't currently write large quantities of correct and maintainable code to create a larger app. (For some value of "larger")
