mavamaarten:
Yeah. I just need to babysit it too much. Take copilot, it gives good suggestions and blows me away sometimes with a block of code which is exactly what I'd type. But actively letting it code (at least with gpt4.1 or gpt4o) just doesn't work well enough for me. Half of the time it doesn't even compile, and after fixing that it's just not really correctly working either. I'd expect it to work like a very junior programmer, but it works like a very drunk senior programmer that isn't listening to you very well at all.

This seems to be the current consensus.
A very similar quote from another recent AI article:
One host compares AI chatbots to "a very smart assistant who has a dozen Ph.D.s but is also high on ketamine like 30 percent of the time."

To be fair I've known 10x developers who are high on ketamine 100 percent of the time, it boggles my mind that this can work.I feel seen

this is good AI - not the whole picture, which is 95% what my friend took of a dude with a glow stick at Camp Bisco many years ago. it was a little clipped on the left and top, and I got my girl to use Photoshop to complete it

my only problem with Horner getting fired from Red Bull is that it likely means Jos Verstappen won, and he's a far bigger piece of shit than Horner. celebrating seems... tone deaf. #F1
