Except it’s not been five years, it’s been at most three, since approximately no one was using LLMs prior to ChatGPT’s release, which was just under three years ago. We did have Copilot a year before that, but it was quite rudimentary.
And really, we’ve had even less than that. The first large scale reasoning model was o1, which was released 12 months ago. More useful coding agents are even newer than that. This narrative that we’ve been using these tools for many years and are now hitting a wall doesn’t match my experience at all. AI-assisted coding is way better than it was a year ago, let alone five.
- coldtea 1y ago>Except it’s not been five years, it’s been at most three, Why would it be "at most" 3? We had Chat GPT commercially available as private beta API on 2020. It's only the mass public that got 3.5 3 years ago. But those who'd do the noticing as per my argument is not just Joe Public (which could be oblivious), but people already starting in 2020, and includes people working in the space, who worked with LLM and LLM-like architectures 2-3 years before 2020.
- senordevnyc 1y agoNo, we didn’t. We had the GPT-3 API available in 2020, and approximately no one was using it.
- coldtea 1y agoSeems like you missed most of my comment
- senordevnyc 1y agoI stopped once it became clear that the first half was both wrong and irrelevant.
