@blinky465 I use Github Co-pilot at work (I think it uses Chat-gpt as an engine).
It is usually brilliant for the small boring bits like adding documentation or creating a class from json-data.

It’s predictive qualities can be a hit and a miss.

I doubt it will ever get better that this, because it simply doesn’t grok what it is doing and relies on humans having written stuff before.

(it is also supposed to not provide copyrighted code … so the one time I asked it to help me create a HTML table it refused to do so because it considered it part of ‘forbidden’ examples … 😀 )

The bigger issue with ‘AI’ is how it has made idiots in charge think that it can replace a human at the helpdesk.
So instead of getting real answers you get to talk to a chat bot that doesn’t know anything and refuses to let you talk to an actual human.

And yeah … while it may replace jobs in the short term, we will have to undo a lot of the damage it does either in the background or suffer the consequences of companies going bankrupt due to not being fast enough at mitigating the problems (there already are stories floating around … ).

It kind of is like this with any new tech, but I suspect the disaster curve will be much steeper with this one.
