- it is a very very very very fancy autocomplete
- sanderjd 3mo agoEach year, as the models improve, we add one more "very".
- ritzaco 3mo agohow many do you add before they become more fancy at auto complete than humans though
- tovej 3mo agoHuman developers generally don't autocomplete.
- ben_w 3mo ago"thanks, you too"
- miyoji 3mo agoYou write code with the same level of attention you give to small talk with strangers?
- DauntingPear7 3mo ago“lgtm”
- sanderjd 3mo ago12?
- lioeters 3mo agoExtrapolating as "very" approaches infinity: "Let there be light!"
- vivzkestrel 3mo ago- its like going at the speed of light to achieve 100% accuracy. - you ll keep getting closer and closer but you ll never be at 100% as long as you have a non zero mass
- xnorswap 3mo agoSure, but it's at the point now where it can autocomplete a fragment of a sketch of an idea into a complete working product.
- bigstrat2003 3mo agoNo, it isn't. It can autocomplete a fragment of a sketch of an idea into something that may or may not match the original vision and almost certainly has serious bugs which only manifest over time because they elude a cursory test.
- Valodim 3mo agoYou say that as if it wasn't true for anything human programmers ever produced
- encyclopedism 3mo agoBecause Claude isn't a human the perception of it is different. Humans can fly planes, computers too can fly planes. I'm not going to give the same leeway to a 'computer' flying a plane that I would to a human. Because we understand that humans are just that, humans. The demands placed on a computer are so very different.
- keleftheriou 3mo agoWhat about driving a car? Computers are already driving cars autonomously, possibly better than the average human already, and quite plausibly will eventually be better than the best human driver.
- encyclopedism 3mo agoPrecisely my point. Say for examples planes, trains or automobiles, humans may make way more errors than a computer does but you can bet your bottom dollar the threshold for allowing computers to autonomously control the above is way higher. Because the expectation is that if it is a computer it ought do it far better/safer.
