Can it code as well as a human? Well, no. But can it increase implementation speed? Also no. But does it reduce overtime? Not as much as NOT using it does. But does it write less buggy code? Quite the opposite, actually! But does it save money? In the long run, almost certainly not. But is it more e
The reason AI grifters push their product so hard in creative fields is that untrained eyes can’t tell how badly the output sucks. For anything with an objective standard of success, their climate-destroying plagiarism machine just straight up doesn’t fucking work. www.cio.com/article/3540...
Code analysis firm sees no major benefits from AI dev tool when measuring key programming metrics, though others report incremental gains from coding copilots with emphasis on code review.
A former boss putting LLM generated code into production and it breaking immediately was immensely satisfying. Fixing it was awful.
You can put plaintext prompts into PowerBI with Copilot! And as long as you understand the basics of PowerBI well enough to have done what you wanted in the first place, you can spend slightly longer unfucking it than if you'd just done it manually. If you don't understand the basics, good luck.
Yes but if you ignore all that, it's great... (sarcasm)
The only people who I see saying this shit "works" is people who either don't code at all or whose definition of "big code project" is something that'd be a weekend assignment in a programming 101 course
I don't know about programming but I can verify that in education, it can't grade writing or build lesson plans, two things I've been promised it can do.
Party of my job is refactoring and debugging bad code, so in a sense CoPilot is a job creator
And for those of us who can tell, it makes our trained eyes bleed, it’s so bad.
The highest paid people in the country in ten years are going to be the handful of retired IT pros who understand COBOL well enough to debug banking and insurance systems from all the trash code that got put in via AI assistance
If you're trying to use AI tools for code, you should be comparing them to "Google StackExchange for this", which is at best what they're doing.
this shit can't even write a basic 4 way stoplight program for a PLC
