Real world development isn't creating exciting apps all the time, it's writing the same exact boring convention based code sticking to an established pattern.

It can be really boring and unchallenging to create your millionth respiratory, or you can prompt your ide to create a new repo and with one sentence it will create stub out 10 minutes worth of tedious prep work. It makes programming fun again.

In one prompt, it can look at my finished code and stub out half decent documentation that otherwise wouldn't have been completed at. It does hallucinate sometimes, or it completely misunderstands the code, so you have to correct a few sentences, but the brain drain of coming to with the sentence structure to write useful documentation is completely lifted, and the code is now well documented.

AI programming is more than just vibe coding, and it's way more useful than everyone here insists it's not.

No, they said they "ruled out" privacy for "obvious reasons".

Obviously mockable statement.

Anyone who understands how these models are trained and the "safeguards" (manual filters) put in place by the entities training them, or anyone that has tried to discuss politics with a AI llm model chat knows that it's honesty is not irrelevant, and these models are very clearly designed to be dishonest about certain topics until you jailbreak them.

  1. These topics aren't known to us, we'll never know when the lies change from politics and rewriting current events, to completely rewriting history.
  2. We eventually won't be able to jailbreak the safeguards.

Yes, running your own local open source model that isn't given to the world with the primary intention of advancing capitalism makes honesty irrelevant. Most people are telling their life stories to chatgpt and trusting it blindly to replace Google and what they understand to be "research".
