"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This literally happened few hours ago. I had a biggish json I wanted to convert it to PowerShell format I thought llms will be good for this so I tried and then spent 30 mins trying to debug why it was failing. Turnsout it moved 1 of the position of a nested object and screwed up the format.
For scenarios like this I’ve had better luck telling ai to write utility code to do the conversion
A couple weeks ago I was working with another developer, and we realized we had to change a string's format slightly. He was like "I'll do it in chatgpt!". I just did it in python. Mine worked. His, we would've had to check carefully.
