Literally just mainlining marketing material straight into whatever’s left of their rotting brains.

    Where do you get the idea that this tech is less than a year old? Because that’s incredibly false. People have been working with neural nets to do language processing for at least a decade, and probably a lot longer than that. The mathematics underlying this stuff is actually incredibly simple and has been known and studied since at least the 90’s. Any recent “breakthroughs” are more about computing power than a theoretical shift.

    I hate to tell you this, but I think you’ve bought into marketing hype.

        I haven’t been able to extract a single useful piece of code from ChatGPT unless I also carefully point ChatGPT to the correct answer, at which point you’re kinda just doing the work yourself by proxy. Also lol at the guy voluntarily uploading what quite possibly is proprietary code. The other part about analyzing memes shouldn’t even need addressing, if ChatGPT’s training dataset is formed by online posts, then it’s going to fucking excel at it.

        That computer toucher was spraying a firehose of bullshit loaded with bullshit statements (such as false claims that anyone here was “fantasizing about the human race always triumphing over the machines using the power of belief and fairy dust”) and asking people to pick among the liquefied slurry to look for nuggets of corn before they call a clown a clown is excessive.

        What are you even doing here, besides proselytizing like that clown was? Same circus?

        the consultants are going to make a killing on all these companies encouraging overworked devs to meet impossible deadlines by using code from chatgpt.
