The link to the conversation with ChatGPT is broken. Did you let chatgpt code that too? (JK). Interested to read the prompts.

I think having a bit of knowledge about the topic you are asking yields the best results. More than zero knowledge, but less than complete knowledge.

But all the inefficient and menial tasks are like 80% of all tasks. That means most software jobs will actually disappear! :|

[sharemywin → emrah]

the thing is even on a menial tasks only about 25% of the time is spent actually generating the code.

Plus when it does spit out code I spend some amount of time fixing the errors it adds.

And it doesn't learn from those errors.

over all is it faster on some tasks yes, but it's not going to get rid of 80% of coders.

at best I think it's a 10% improvement in productivity.

Not sure where things go at this point.

Where it really shines is helping to learn new stuff.
