Comment This would flunk (Score 1) 76

Any freshman trying to use this programming technique would be flunked in Intro to Programming 101. Trying to use AI to write real code will only result is very poor results. LLMs don't have any semantic capability to know "why" thinks are. Using simple phrases as directions to AI does not communicate enough information for real requirements. Your AI generated code is just recollections of what the LLM has been trained on, which you have not seen. This is such a bad idea. It's just one more stupid way for desperate AI companies to try to make a buck. But it's a really bad business model.

Comment Again, More Unsubstantiated AI Hype (Score 2) 101

So AI increases productivity among unproductive software developers by 25%? The difference between low productivity developers and high productivity developers is a factor of 20X So Increasing the bottom rung doesn't really achieve much. I supposed there are always stupid managers who will try to leverage this. Good developers will go elsewhere and should.

Comment Finally, someone talking "AI Bubble" (Score 3, Interesting) 34

There is no serious business case that can sustain investment of $500 Billion. Microsoft, Google, Meta, Tesla, Apple, OpenAI, etc are all going to get hammered when stock holders realize those companies have overspent and have no means of getting back that investment. This is definitely a bubble that will impact the stock market.

Comment Re:Yes and also No (Score 1) 163

Using AI to code is a shallow victory at best. Once you deal with logic that it is less likely to have seen, the efficacy of the code drops quickly. Plus every single peice of code from AI has to be carefully inspected for bugs. Only a good coder can do that. So the likelihood of introducing bugs and subtle bugs goes up dramatically. Is that really a gain in productivity if you are now introducing bugs at a higher rate? Noooooooo.
