AI is fucking so useless when it comes to programming right now.

They can't even fucking do math. Go make an AI do math right now, go see how it goes lol. Make it a, real world problem and give it lots of variables.

In all seriousness though I do worry for the future of juniors. All the things that people criticise LLMs for, juniors do too. But if nobody hires juniors they will never become senior

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This is completely tangential but I think juniors will always be capable of things that LLMs aren't. There's a human component to software that I don't think can be replaced without human experience. The entire purpose of software is for humans to use it. So since the LLM has never experienced using software while being a human, there will always be a divide. Therefore, juniors will be capable of things that LLMs aren't.

Idk, I might be missing a counterpoint, but it makes sense to me.

Thank you for your opinion.

Anyway.

Everyone's convinced their thing is special, but everyone else's is a done deal.

Meanwhile the only task where current AI seems truly competitive is porn.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

False. Porn is sexy, and I can't possibly be aroused by an image of a woman spreading her cheeks when her fingers are attached to her arse with a continuous piece of flesh, giving her skin the same topography as a teapot.

Damning comments from 2023.

I'll stop saying it if it stops being true.

AI is really good at creating images of Jesus that boomers say β€œamen” to.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

So is toast.

I'd suggest that if you think AI porn is anywhere near the real thing, that's probably because you think porn is already slop in the same way that these AI bros think of code or creative writing or whatever other information-based thing you already know AI can't do well.

Porn isn't slop, people aren't just interestingly-shaped slabs of meat. Sex is fundamentally about interpersonal connection. It might be one of the things that LLMs and robots are the worst at.

Wanking is about the emotional connection to a JPG, said someone I deeply pity.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Who wouldn't pity those who make do with a lossy compression image format?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I do not need lossless copies of an image someone didn't even draw.

Not everyone is there for the interpersonal connection. Some really are just that base and pathetic.

Having said that, seeking personal connection (or just sex) is a mistake in this age. Best to learn to let go, and get used to suffering.

You can say β€œfucked” on the internet, Ace Rbk.

It's better to future-proof your account for when Gilead is claimed.

Oh no, he's a cannibal.
