"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

AI can code better than most humans? BS. Only takes a few features to end up with spaghetti.
In my experience it doesn't even take a few features, a medium-size non-trivial script by Claude would not pass review by me without human cleanup.
I wonder if some bolognese would make it a little bit better… ~I’ll~ ~see~ ~myself~ ~out~
The same is true of most software built by humans, and AI is able to refactor, if you ask it to.
Not in my experience.
Skill issue :shrug:
Context issue.
My code base is so large the agent collapses mid way over these kinds of tasks.
The codebase is large, or you have files with thousands of lines of code? Because there's a big difference. AI agents are perfectly able to work with large codebases, but they do have problems with large files (which usually are a sign of terrible code).
