Also, been recently playing with ways to generate API code plumbing without any schema layers. (Swagger/OpenAPI/Proto) [1]
Call center employees are pretty much as good as gone once the price comes down on GPT4. You can pretty easily give it a good prompt that allows it to answer very specific questions about your company, or interact with external APIs to schedule services, make changes based on the customer's requests, etc. Throw some Speech to Text and Text to Speech services in front and behind it, and voila you have an AI receptioni…
I am dreading the inevitable future day when I have to argue about a denied health insurance claim on the phone with a fucking robot prompted to make it as difficult as possible for me to win.
Maybe a robot that learns from past calls is better than (1) a static robot flow or (2) a human following a script.
Maybe you don't have to interact via voice call, but maybe text/email/chat is a shortcut.
Maybe you don't have to wait 30 minutes for your turn in the queue, since it's all running in VMs anyhow.

Don't you have that exactly today where everyone presses 0? People call because they want a human.. otherwise the website can provide those answers.
...and repeat until they get a human capable of actually helping them
I've got a thread going with ChatGPT about an app I'm building. It knows all of the libraries I'm using, and has seen the main App component, the Router and many of the key components. I'm asking it about every task I need to do, feature I need to implement, bug I need to fix. Basically rubber ducking with it and talking through everything I'm doing as if it were my coworker. It's reducing my time to solve problems b…
After all, why bother dealing with so many external libraries to get it done when you can just relay the core ones you must use and ask chatgpt to flesh out the rest in a way that suits your needs? Need a component to be gamepad accessible written in Vue? Ask and you'll receive. No more bothering with that library that hasn't been updated in years or wasting time figuring out if x package is stable enough.
Same with endpoints, no having to sort through 30 different sites and navigating horrible menus to potentially see a comment where someone says "oh the endpoint changed it's actually x". Even if chatgpt gets it wrong, it's so much faster to just tell it that the endpoint is wrong or whatever the error you're actually getting.
Like you mentioned though the big caveat is to know what you're working with. Without that you're going to waste a lot of time not knowing where chatgpt is going wrong. That will probably improve eventually, but if you're trying to learn a new programming language through it, you will likely be holding yourself back or learning very odd patterns.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why would you do that when you can dispatch your own AI to argue for you?
I've been using it for long-term memory supplementation. Had a faint memory of driving around in a friend's truck back in high school and was trying to remember a Marilyn Manson song we always played. Asked it this the other day: > Are there any other marilyn manson songs with a crowd shouting? And it spit out: === Yes, Marilyn Manson has used the sound of a crowd shouting in several other songs besides "The Beautifu…
Retrieve information from public technical chats to provide Q&A on programming languages, technologies, engineering approaches and so on.
It can explain stuff to you in exactly the way you need to, and walk you through problems. You can ask it to create quizzes / guided questions for you which helps in organizing your own thoughts. Another application I find quite remarkable is asking it for good prompts for image generation models. The biggest benefit is that you're not starting from zero when entering a new problem space / domain.
But how do you assert the information is correct? It could be dangerous to blindly trust an imperfect tool as a teacher.
