I don't know if AI makes people dumber. But it lends me to believe that people who swear by it might be dumber.

Time will tell how useful the code generators are.

I should go play with chatgpt today...

yes cuz thinking is like a muscle

also the COVID vaccine re-arranged blood flow in people's heads, and you need blood flow to be able to think

and in general fear mongering and anxiety is gonna do a number on brain functions as well

if you don't train it back up it'll just stay there and atrophy

there was a book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

most people don't use system 2. when I read it I always existed in system 2 by default and had system 1 basically be my autopilot for every day tasks. now all I am is system 1 and can barely enter 2. totally out of practice. years of brainwork down the drain

and using AI will further take more people out of system 2 and into system 1, if they were lucky enough to have been using system 2 much in the first place

and then everyone calls you autistic even when you're not cuz you can think. so it's just socially weird now

@jestdotty found a pdf for this. thanks

So I asked chatgpt to give me an example of unit testing in Godot. It mentions the "Godot Testing Framework" and then spits out an example that doesn't use a framework and is not complete. So I told it that it didn't use "Godot Testing Framework". It says you are right and says that framework doesn't exist. But here is a framework that does exist and here is and example of that.

It did show me a proper example of composition though.

That isn't helpful for something so simple. My journey continues... I will get my prompt engineering degree in no time!

@Demolishun chatGPT is the worst for coding

o1-preview is good with libraries and checks its work a lot, but is horribly verbose and expensive

opus is very good at logic puzzles and kind of psychic for human, psychology conversations. my favourite (even though it's one of the older ones now and they can't seem to update it)

sonnet is ok

Gemini at least answers differently from the GPT models but it forces things down your throat. typical Google behaviour

and GPT is literally a hallucinating gaslighting useless thing that will confuse you and waste your time

@Demolishun what model are you using?

They are not code generators (or any generators) they are general purpose transformer language models. They don't generate, they transform. If you think about them like that, you will have more success. You need to give it a painfully precise specification of what you want and then they will do a decent job. That includes giving them specs of the libraries you want them to use if they are not popular and giving them examples and tables of the expected output.

No, It's not "prompt engineering" It's just normal enginnering, just in natural language. You still have to do the whole spec and design of you want anything decent
