LLM are becoming so good that they are better than us at understanding code. And it's only going to get worst every year.
I think that the job of 'coding' is done, it's dying and will be effectively dead in a decade.
You better find ways to make yourself usable around LLM work but not by doing what LLM already do.
- Anamon 2mo agoLLMs don't understand a damn thing. They can't. They're not built to. An LLM doesn't "understand" its own slop. It can use that slop as further input for generating more slop on top of it, but at no point of the process does anything like a concept or understanding come in.
- aucisson_masque 2mo agoI know it's not supposed to understand but it's just so good at faking it, and being right, that at some point we can claim it's 'underdtanding' it. Or you'd have to invent a new word.
