  • I use LLM-type AI every day as a software developer. It’s incredibly helpful in many contexts, but you have to understand what it’s designed to do and what its limitations are.

    I went back and forth with Claude and ChatGPT today about its logic being incorrect and it telling me “You’re right,” then outputting the same/similar erroneous code it output before, until I needed to just slow down and fix some fundamental issues with its output myself. It’s certainly a force multiplier, but not at any kind of scale without guidance.

    I’m not convinced AI, in its current incarnation, can be used to write code at a reasonable scale without human intervention. Though I hope we get there so I can retire.
