Re: GPT is all you need for the back end
#12Obviously a sensationalised title, but it's a neat illustration of how you'd apply the language models of the future to real tasks.
Would be ridiculously inefficient, while also being nondeterministic and opaque. Impossible to debug, verify, or test anything, and thus would be unwise to use for almost any kind of important task. But maybe for a very forgiving task you can reduce developer hours. As soon as you need to start doing any kind of custom training of the model, then you are reintroducing all developer costs and then some, while the othe…
Absolutely this. It's a solution looking for a problem.
If the developer task is really so trivial why not just have a human write actual code?
And even if it is actual code instead of a Rube Goldberg-esque restricted query service, I still don't think there's ever any time saved using AI for anything. Unless you also plan on assigning the code review to the AI, a human must be involved. To say that the reviews would be tedious is an understatement. Even the most junior developer is far more likely to comprehend their bug and fix it correctly. The AI is just going to keep hallucinating non-existent APIs, haphazardly breaking linter rules, and writing in plagiarized anti-patterns.

#13So like a Mechanical "Mechanical Turk"
Re: GPT is all you need for the back end
#14All works great until you ask it to implement 'undo'.

#15Yes I could do that. I could indeed invoke something that requires god-knows how many tensor cores, vram, not to mention the power requirements of all that hardware, in order to power a simple CRUD App. Or, I could not do that, and instead have it done by a sub-100-lines python script, running on a battery powered Pi.
You don't actually think this is serious, do you?

Well, it’s also a joke. I think the point you’re making is the punchline.

Guys, this is a joke. Don't take it so seriously. Literally the first thing in the README is a meme.

I think they're sincere, though? I can't tell and I'm a little concerned

I promise that even if this is a joke, people will see this and take it seriously, implement it and preach it seriously to other people. It's impossible to make jokes online if you don't want to have harmful effect on the world.

#20Just think, all we need to do is wait for someone to come up with a frontend LLM implementation, and we can all take permanent vacations! The future is now!
This entire project would fit nicely in a Dilbert strip.
