I work in tech. I'm really impressed with AI, particularly outside of LLMs, but I was a yuge chatGPT fan for most of last year. I don't think the technology is ready. I worked with a senior dev who worked on LLMs and he didn't think it was there. I think we've got c-suite overshooting and investor hype on a technology that isn't quite there yet. There's going to be a reckoning soon where all these dumbasses are going to have to eat crow and re-hire a lot of these positions.
I use gpt-4 daily for my work, I love it. I get more done and save time.
The thing i don't trust the simulation for one bit. If you analyze it properly you will always find errors.
Its way easier to fix those errors or to adapt the solution into my needs. But the most essential component of the entire workflow is that i a human with real life expertise green light the good parts from its response. A bit like i became a teacher and chatgpt is the student. Its works extend mine but I remain at all times responsible.
Maybe in a few years it could be ready, lets just hope it doesn’t go the same way as nfts, which could have had a brilliant use to track the authenticity of journalism in a fake news world, but no, monkey craves golden bananas even if it cant digest them. And now the aftertaste is so bad people get sick at the mention.
