Only if you believe most Lemmy commenters. They are convinced you can only use them to write highly shitty and broken code and nothing else.
This is my expirence with LLMs, I have gotten it to write me code that can at best be used as a scaffold. I personally do not find much use for them as you functionally have to proofread everything they do. All it does change the work load from a creative process to a review process.
I don't agree. Just a couple of days ago I went to write a function to do something sort of confusing to think about. By the name of the function, copilot suggested the entire contents of the function and it worked fine. I consider this removing a bit of drudgery from my day, as this function was a small part of the problem I needed to solve. It actually allowed me to stay more focused on the bigger picture, which I consider the creative part. If I were a painter and my brush suddenly did certain techniques better, I'd feel more able to be creative, not less.
But we never have proofs that it gives good code, that's convenient...
So you want me to go into one of my codebases, remember what came from copilot and then paste it here? Lol no
Of course you can't.
You already forgot, that's convenient, again.
Yeah you post your employer first, dumbass
All you want is something to belittle
You say it's magical but never post proof. That's all I need to think it's shit. No need to debate about it for hours. Come back when you entice us with something instead of the billion REST APIs that are useless but seem to give a hard on to all the AI bros out there.
No one cares that you're mad about lLmS
