I have a coworker who is essentially building a custom program in Sheets using AppScript, and has been using CGPT/Gemini the whole way.

While this person has a basic grasp of the fundamentals, there’s a lot of missing information that gets filled in by the bots. Ultimately after enough fiddling, it will spit out usable code that works how it’s supposed to, but honestly it ends up taking significantly longer to guide the bot into making just the right solution for a given problem. Not to mention the code is just a mess - even though it works there’s no real consistency since it’s built across prompts.

I’m confident that in this case and likely in plenty of other cases like it, the amount of time it takes to learn how to ask the bot the right questions in totality would be better spent just reading the documentation for whatever language is being used. At that point it might be worth it to spit out simple code that can be easily debugged.

Ultimately, it just feels like you’re offloading complexity from one layer to the next, and in so doing quickly acquiring tech debt.

Women are so cute and I love you too and I love you too [ad infinitum]

I’ll take it.

The system leaves us with a binary choice. Even the third “option” of inaction is essentially leaving it up to fate at best, and at worst is just handing the controls over.

The room you’re in is sealed, filling with water, and you can access a snorkel or a fire hydrant.

In this instance, the moderators specifically refused to be fact checkers and declared that fact checking would be left to the candidates. It was a bit of a missed opportunity that Biden didn’t refute more of Trump’s falsehoods.

I’m afraid all we can say for sure is that it’s not a caterpillar.

Super fun, pardner. That horse is looking a little sparse, though. Maybe you could draw that horse winning the lottery and subsequently losing most of that money to gambling debts?

50/50 that or it gets sexualized and women are told to put it away

I think top comment is a reference of some kind.

I heard something similar; the studio didn’t think the movie would be popular if they used too many computer terms so they made them change the function to “battery”. Initially the reason Neo has powers is because his node happens to have admin access.

Cynicism is a symptom of a broken system that either breaks promises or fails to meet needs.

You’re talking about nihilism, not atheism. Atheism does not preclude humanism.

I think the difference is that when you pay discord, they stop advertising to you.

My boss’s favorite saying is to just make logical decisions.

I can’t take him/her seriously because he/she is a Mormon and that’s the least logical decision you can make.

The ramblings of an absolute madman. This is what they’ve been demanding your respect for.

Unfortunately it’s burned into my memory one way or another, yet it still blends into the surrounding years.

One of my best friends moved out of state and we went to Colorado to send him off, I got back and my dad was sick (not COVID at least), he passed away exactly a week before my birthday. The next month I went on a trip to Vegas through work (I was encouraged to keep the plan despite the circumstances… Ultimately it was a positive experience overall).

A remarkable year personally in good ways and bad, but another stone in the stream of upheavals in recent years overall.

A little bit of cultural linguistics going on really. Even though the texts are also calling OOP gay and queer, and doing so with the same amount of vitriol as with the f-slur, they aren’t recognized as emotionally charged in the same way. All the other cursing is not hate speech per se as it’s not directly targeting any immutable characteristics.

I was just joshing you, playing a little trick, I think it’s for atheism.

I don’t know if “miss” is the right word, but I feel deeply that this is a picture I would have seen on babiestrappedinknees

I’ll be honest, for a minute I thought it was not a flaw but referring to “Monday Me, on Monday” which is a concept I can relate to

I love this idea. Unfortunately, I think it’s just a slightly unnatural vocal performance. Even though AI can perfectly replicate voices tonally, they can’t truly generate the same cadence and inflections, or sometimes even get close without a good deal of human assistance. I suspect this will change over time. As with ChatGPT, we’ll be looking to AI to solve the problem of AI mimicking humans too well.
