Have you tried removing your brain and trying again? Jk but I feel like i have to really try hard to sound “dumb” when I ask gpt4 to do anything complex. If I put any words that are kinda technical or specific it ends up misunderstanding completely. I think because we are highly technical it’s like diminishing returns for us. For a total noob it’s like opening Pandora’s box. We are gonna have a ton of shitty insecure…

Yes, you have to ask dumb, but still include the right buzzwords. I used it succesfully for generating some math functions, that I could have done myself, but in longer time. And friends of mine use it for .. producing text. Because they don't like writing and surprisingly many people don't. So for me I am faster writing it myself, but I happen to like it and do and did it a lot. But for other people it is actually p…

Somebody who knows absolutely nothing about a language can also copy and paste together a working solution. I'd trust that about as much as something ChatGPT spit out.

Somebody who knows absolutely nothing don't know what to search for to end up on the correct stack-overflow to copy and paste. If they know what result they want, they can iterate with an LLM as the guide.

More work for consultants and clean up crews.

Hmm, so as someone working in security testing and finding basic access control lacking in multi-user systems I do not have anything to fear for long time. Not to even mention subtler bugs...
