To me it’s glorified autocomplete. I see LLM as a potencial way of drastically lowering barrier of entry to coding. But I’m at a skill level that coercing a chatbot into writing code is a hiderance. What I need is good documentation and good IDE statical analysis.

I’m still waiting on a good, IDE integrated, local model that would be capable of more that autompleting a line of code. I want it to generate the boiler plate parts of code and get out of my way of solving problems.

What I don’t want, is a fucking chatbot.

I use it all the time, to translate, explain, give guides, write code, do repetitive menial tasks, fix code, understand others code.

I get the hatred for it, but I use it almost every day.

For me throwing a graph in and telling it to create a table from it and stuff like that is really super helpful, since I often have to do this, and by hand it’s a very tedious job. Sorting and cleaning tables and translating stuff is super handy and I use it quite often. But other then that I don’t care.

There are plenty of uses for it. There are also plenty of bad implementations that don’t use it in a way that helps anyone.

We’re going through an overhyped period currently but we’ll see actual uses in a few years once the dust settles. About 10 years ago, a similar thing happened with AI vision and now everyone has filters they can use on cameras and face detection. We’ll reach another plateau until the next tech hype comes about.

I used it the other day to spit out a ~150 line python script. It worked flawlessly on the first try.

I don’t know python.

In the sense that a forum I am on has had a huge amount of fun doing very silly things with Godzilla, yes.

It’s best to start at the bottom. We didn’t start out with Godzilla when the thread began and it also began in 2022.

8220 posts, the majority Godzilla-related. I haven’t done too many lately, but here’s a few recent ones:

Its funny to fuck around with, in the same way its funny ask a bible bot for Judges 15-16 and watching the bot get autobanned for saying ass.

thats about all it is though, a stupid silly thing to fuck around with.

Shouldnt be a production/human replacement thing.

There’s a handful of actual good use-cases. For example, Spotify has a new playlist generator that’s actually pretty good. You give it a bunch of terms and it creates a playlist of songs from those terms. It’s just crunching a bunch of data to analyze similarities with words. That’s what it’s made for.

It’s not intelligence. It’s a data crunching tool to find correlations. Anyone treating it like intelligence will create nothing more than garbage.

People I talk to find it useful for front-end development

I ask it a lot of technical questions that are broad and non-specific. It helps to quickly get a gauge on what is the correct way to implement something.

Well I use AI to generate Happy Birthday images with the persons name in the greetings.

that’s gotta count, right?

I use ChatGpt to ask programming questions, it’s not always correct but neither is Stack Overflow nowadays. At least it will point me in the right direction.

I use it to explain dumber questions i have about math and coding concepts.

I use it to write scripts.

I used it to interpret my rental lease and calculate penalties and see whats covered by my landlord vs myself.
