No. If a tool is too complicated or cumbersome to use then people will look for another one that’s better. Not everyone is an enthusiast that is willing to invest hours or weeks learning all the intricacies of an app if all I want to do is

Gimp refused to change their ways and still does, that’s why no one outside of a handful of enthusiasts use it. People have complained for years that their UI is too complicated, clunky, not intuitive, etc. and Gimp basically ignored all th

Well you’re saying this because you’re probably already familiar with the subject. I remember learning about writing your own compiler for the first time and it took me many hours to write the most simple lexer and fully understand it. And

Exactly. The argument never was that AI will replace every single programmer. But it looks like it will replace a good chunk of them. How many exactly remains to be seen.

The conditions you’ve set here are very strict, but I have something that may almost fit. I’ve used Grok 3 to create a decompiler and then a compiler for a made up scripting language (for scripts extracted from Final Fantasy VII data files)

Yes it feels like refactoring would be a perfect use case for LLMs but it only works for very simple cases. I've tried several times to do bigger refactors spanning several files with Cursor and it always failed. I think it's a co

I’m currently doing something very similar to what GP is doing - I’m building a hobby project that’s a desktop app with web frontend. It’s a map editor with a 3D view. My estimate is that 80-90% of the code was written by AI. Sure, I did ha

If you can post links in the form of signal.me/asdf then yes, this reinforces my point that they've probably automatically flagged the top-level domain because of how these /#me links are constructed by Signal.

Also that percentage gets higher as we go. 2 years ago it would be correct maybe 20% of the time. The trend is obvious. I’m not sure we will ever reach 100%, but then again no human is always 100% right, even domain experts.

Which one exactly? The one who worked on the training data set? The one supervising RLHF? One who wrote the attention algorithm? Or maybe the DevOps person who managed deployment that failed? Or... all of them?

If you don’t see the difference in quality of responses between GPT-3.5 as it launched in 2022 and o1/o3 then I don’t know what to tell you. I am using these models daily and the difference is night and day.
