    …and it didn’t work.

    then a human had to fix it and it took 3x as long to fix it as if it was written by a human originally.

    This is the state of “AI” at the moment. Its a giant time waste.

      I’ve tried to have ChatGPT help me out with some Powershell, and it consistently wanted me to use cmdlets which do not exist for on premise Exchange. I told it as much, it apologized, and wanted me to use cmdlets that don’t exist at all.

      Large Language Models are not Artificial Intelligence.

        Yes if two code snippets from two different languages are on the same webpage it will inject the syntax from one language into the other and output total garbage, confidently of course.

        I had a weird XAML error I didn’t quite get, and the LLM gave me BS solutions before giving me back my original code.

          Yes at some point after many wrong and completely broken answers it will finally just keep spitting out your original code over and over, I’ve seen this several times.

      This also completely glosses over the fact that AI capable of writing this had huge R&D costs to get to that point and also have ongoing costs associated with running them. This whole article is a fucking joke, probably written by AI

      You meant to say “a competent human”, which a lot of programmers are not.

      While I’d expect this to be of rather low quality I’d bet money on having seen worse projects done by actual humans in the last 25 years.
