They're fun toys, and in some specific contexts they can even be useful. Programming, overall, is far too wide of a space for them to handle, and probably always will be, until they reach something approaching the Totally Randomly Evolved™ complexity of a human. (And then we can start working on cutting down the resources required to run them from being several orders of magnitude more than a human!) In the meantime we're more likely to see some specific subsets being targeted and automated. I can't predict what those subsets will be.In conversation permalink -
NEETzsche (neetzsche@iddqd.social)'s status on Saturday, 09-Dec-2023 23:39:41 JST NEETzsche I use LLM “programming” and then fix it up a bit. It’s like 80% correct most of the time and it’s still faster than having to do it yourself. I don’t think it will automate my job away because I still have to know what to change. But it does make that job a lot easier.

NEETzsche (neetzsche@iddqd.social)'s status on Saturday, 09-Dec-2023 23:40:49 JST NEETzsche What it’s going to do is automate away a very specific kind of entry level programmer from India who can’t do fizzbuzz but can pass those certification tests. Which is most people with job titles like “Software Engineer” anyway. So there will be job loss, but I doubt it’s going to get rid of people who actually build things. That requires vision, and LLMs are notoriously robotic for obvious reasons

First would be anything niche. There are a billion guides on how to build a site with React, it follows LLMs will be good with web dev stuff. When it's something niche (there are a million niche fields) that's where they falter; there is relatively less text regarding the topic.
Second would be anything low level (hardware, embedded, operating systems, compilers, databases). They require debugging on a level an LLM will probably never do. What if the hardware has a hidden bug, or the CPU has undocumented behavior? What if there's a miscompilation? If you write an optimized ASM routine it still has to be tested on real hardware.In conversation permalink Machismo likes this. -
