AI is great for advice. It’s like asking your narcissist neighbor for advice. He might be right. He might have the best answer possible, or he might be just trying to make you feel good about your interaction so you’ll come closer to his inner circle.
You don’t ask Steve for therapy or ideas on self-help. And if you did, you’d know to do due diligence on any fucking thing out of his mouth.
I’m still not sure what it’s “great” at other than a few minutes of hilarious entertainment until you realize it’s just predictive text with an eerie amount of data behind it.
Yuuuuup. It’s like taking nearly the entirety of the public Internet, shoving it into a fancy auto correct machine, then having it spit out responses to whatever you say, then send them along with no human interaction whatsoever on what reply is being sent to you.
It operates at a massive scale compared to what auto carrot does, but it’s the same idea, just bigger and more complex.
Ask it to give you and shell.nix and a bash script to use jQuery to stitch 30,000 jsons together and de-dupe them, drop it all into a sqlite db.
30 seconds, paste and run.
Give it the full script of an app you wrote where you’re having a rejex problem and it’s particularly nasty regex.
No thought, boom done. It’ll even tell you what you did wrong so you won’t make the mistake next time.
I’ve been doing coding and scripting for 25 years. If you know what you want it to do and you know what it should look like when it’s done, there’s a tremendous amount of advantage there.
Add a function to this flask application to use fuzzywuzzy to delete a name out of the text file, ad a confirmation step. It’s the crap that I only need to do once every two or three years, Right have to go and look up all of the documentation. And you know what, if something and it doesn’t work and it doesn’t know exactly how to fix it I’m more than capable of debugging what it just did because for the most part it documents pretty well and it uses best practices most of the time. It also helps to know where it’s weak and things to not ask it to do.

I’m happy it helps you and the things you do.
