Not for RAG and Automation applications But for Fixing Hallucinated code that written by Non Software Engineers.

> But for Fixing Hallucinated code that written by Non Software Engineers. And for testing to find those inconsistencies.

And for reviewing failed tests that were hallucinated by LLM testing software. And for fixing the consequences of LMM testing giving false negatives.

This article feels like stating an opinion. I suppose the autopilot analogy is at the heart of their argument but the argument as of now feels a bit too flat. There are definitely some jobs that technology completely displaced, and there are some that merely made something more accessible. For example, grinding grain with the advent of modern milling equipment vs microwaves. Milling machines make hand driven milling something of a niche whereas microwaves arguable have displaced no jobs in cooking and food preparation. We need more of an argument as to why GenAI will be more of a microwave technology vs a mill.

Anyway, I actually am more towards this is a hype cycle that will pass, it's just the article itself didn't really drive home the argument in my opinion.

It's frustrating just how shit AI is at coding. The new gpt model seems even worse, splurging out a load of guff that makes it even more difficult to see the bullshit it's produced.

AI a threat to humanity, my ass.

Eh, it's only a matter of time until new nvidia clusters are in production and we start seeing what hardware designed for training massive models (roughly 100x bigger than anything we know of at least) can do.

With some additional architectural changes we might start seeing some sparks of real human stupidity.
