Identifying types of valves sounds like a genuinely useful use of AI. Very cool.

What happens when anthropic triple their prices and your company is totally dependent on them for any development work? You can’t just stop using it because no in house developers, if there are even any left, will understand the codebase.

I’m not against using AI. I do myself. But I use it as a starting point only when a traditional web search hasn’t yielded a useful article, documentation, etc. Then I will ask AI to get ideas and will use those ideas to refine my web search, the goal being to find a piece of human written documentation as a source of truth.

Boss on the other hand takes ChatGPT output as source of truth. I don’t agree with that. I’ve seen too many hallucinations, too much bullshitting.

As for writing with AI? Its insulting to the reader. If I’m going to be expected to spend time reading it, then spend time writing it yourself so I know I am not wasting my time reading pointless garbage.

Same! He’ll paste me a response from chatgpt showing how chatgpt would’ve solved the problem I am working on. It will have a list of 3 solutions, and mine will be better… yet I have to waste time proving that it’s better than chatgpt’s.

So the LLM can run arbitrary code against your database? Or your clients can? Both sound scary as hell!

Sounds like your company is run by people who are a bit more sensible and not driven by hype and fomo.

How would they know what I give them is a complete list?

FIFA are just as corrupt and greedy as Trump

I love soccer but I am completely disinterested in next year’s world cup because the fat orange prick is going to be everywhere, telling everyone that “people are saying it’s the greatest world cup they’ve ever seen”, getting selfies with the Portuguese prick who cares more about money than women and homosexuals getting hanged in public for being women or homosexuals. And fucking Messi, American’s act like he’s the only footballer that was ever good.
