Web repeating actually feels like a good fit for these current gen multimodal agents.

Unsure if the code was provided (logged out I only see the one post) so unable to speak to the code or how it runs, but judging by the poster’s profile I think I can trust they know when code runs correctly. Though it does appear they’re currently working at this specific agent’s parent company.

Honestly, this impresses me more in the work the selenium team has been doing than the llm that used their api.

I feel like most engineers on hackernews/reddit have been underestimating AI tech. People always say it sucks and it gets starts hallucinating nonexistent libraries and what not but we are still in the early phase of this technology. And that how it could never replace them as AI will make current engineers more efficient.

I've been scared of AI since seeing chatgbt a couple of years ago. I feel like it's only a matter of time until a dev can feed an AI machine it's entire code base and business requirements. And then a separate AI could carry out the manual/integration testing tasks. AI could potentially cut down the number of devs required to maintain a webapp or ios app after it's built.

I feel triggered by this post especially because I've made it a career writing automation code haha.

This stage is called denial. There's also anger, bargaining, depression, and finally, in the end, acceptence. I'm saying in a funny way, but I suspect it's true.

Who can say how AI will develop, but beware of happily-ever-after stories. It could be a nightmare for all of civilization, for just engineers, or just not develop much futher.

They said it worked with modifications (the code got them 90% of the way)

What's the new "just learn to code, bro" platitude we can throw around?

"Just learn to do plumbing bro."

Seriously, the demand for skilled handymen in the cities is insane as people can't do shit anymore. As per the South Park episode, you have to treat them well if you want them to pick up the phone or return your calls.

The problem with this is that it could be a universal argument against any skepticism. So unless skeptics are always wrong, it doesn‘t really work

Nah, it will bifurcate the industry between people who have a mental model of how things work and people who only know how to press the code dispenser button. Offshore teams will be able to sling 10x times the slop 10x times faster.
