Atari 2600 beating it at chess is a perfect metaphor. People who want to complain about it can bite its plastic woodgrain printed ass.
I find this questionable; people forget that a locally-hosted LLM is no more taxing than a video game.
Why do you believe this? It has continued to get dramatically better over the past 5 years. Look at where GPT2 was in 2019.
It is not consistently usable for coding. If you are hoping this slop-producing machine is consistently useful for anything then you are sorely mistaken. These things are most suitable for applications where unreliability is acceptable.
Do you not see the obvious contradiction here? If you are sure that this is not going to get better and it's not profitable, then you have nothing to worry about in the long-term about careers being replaced by AIs.
Google did this intentionally as part of enshittification.
I mean, it's pretty good as a productivity tool for programmers as it eliminates a bunch of chore.
Such as?
I swear you have never actually used copilot while programming and are just making shit up
Why? Because I can use a smarter autocomplete and I am open to change and not a dogmatic closeminded person?
Lmao, I have 8+ years of experience and use it daily.
Like I said, it's a pretty good autocomplete, handles changing sql really well.
It's bo different than using IntelliJ editors, they make your life easier.
If you can't use it well, maybe its a PEBKAC issue.
Likening being a cryptobro to having copilot installed in your IDE really shows your level of nuance on the topic.
No but I do have some cars running on dino juice, that way you don't have to progress with the times.
I am not on the hype train, I just said that there is one particular case where it's a decent productivity tool, but of course you are either too pompous to accept that, or even worse instead of forming your opinion you adopted the anti-AI circlejerk based on the posts you have seen about it, so now all, even very minor dissenting opinion has to be attacked. well while this was entirely useless exchange at least you made me feel I am back on reddit, so you have that going for you.
Btw I have had copilot installed in VSCode and Intellij since about april of 2023, so well before the hype train that's currently going has even started. i have found it useful then for saving me quite a few keystrokes and I find it useful still for that, also for some other stuff like for changing SQL that is a PiTA to change.
Ps. The fact that you think that Your fucking "well ackhtsually" comment about the commonly used phrase "dino juice" actually shared some new information I haven't known for years just shows much of a pompous ass you are.
Oh my god you 'people'. Did you not read what you replied to?
'people' in scare quotes since coders aren't people I guess.
Fine, we’ll stipulate to that. The conclusion is upheld.
