I have played with different AI chatbots for software related issues. I'm a Principal Software Engineer, so I ask principal software engineer questions. They have all been awful and mostly wrong. In their best case scenarios for code generation or even ideas for code have been what I had already thought of originally. Moving in any direction resulted in the worst coding which was often wrong and I got tired of correcting, numerous times.
They're interesting machines which can aggregate information but they're often wrong. Just flat out erroneous, e.g., code that won't compile, etc.
Even with some of my general ed college course (e.g., BIOL 101/102), chatting about the material has given me wrong results several times. It's able to answer basic information questions pretty well TBH/TBF but that's about it.
That's interesting to hear from a software engineer. I did web dev way back in web 2.0 so I have a tiny foundation for a few languages, mostly static, some java. Then I got into crypto around 2013 and began diving into white papers and that whole scene. But I tried to whip GPT 4 last summer to code pine scripts for crypto trading bots. It took about two weeks to get my first scrip and made a ton of errors, often repeating the same errors over and over, but eventually I had a few different bot strategies that were profitable and deployed them. It doesn't write fiction worth a damn, or nonfiction, but it's useful as an information aggregator for data specific topics only, non political, and non historical of course. I prefer it to search engines now if I'm researching some fixed topics (moving to Finland, or Hungary, or Bulgaria, health insurance options, bank acount procedures, all the stuff that would have required reading 50 blogs in the past it will aggregate in ten seconds). But I will quickly go back to Yandex for serious research once it starts going woke. I have no time to whip a machine out of ideological delusions and political correctness programmed by Silicon Valley spergs.
