> Chatgpt (and other LLMs) are awful at creative prose. As are most humans. Don't get me wrong, what I've seen from even the better LLMs have a certain voice and tropes and sacherine worldview that isn't dark enough where it needs to be for the story to work; but on the other hand, what I see on some fiction writing subreddits… the AI is often a genuine improvement over amateur writers, even in cases where the AI con…

> what I see on some fiction writing subreddits… the AI is often a genuine improvement over amateur writers What point are you trying to make here? That amateur writers are amateurs? That AI is only "often" an improvement over an amateur? > Which is frustrating, because I have the feeling the novel I've been trying to finish writing for the last decade may be usurped by AI before I get my final draft. This statement…

Just so we're clear, you're not sure what I'm saying and nevertheless think that I'm a better writer than you believe that I believe myself to be and you are confused by an imaginary "only" that wasn't in what I wrote and that you are skeptical of the idea that an LLM might overtake humans in creative works generally and writing in particular?

I'm not sure if the following statement will help your confusion, but most who judge the quality of a story do so without being able to write that story. Critiquing and writing are different skills.

This is a gist, not an interaction with Claude AI. Can you share actual interaction on their site?

No, ChatGPT has that feature but not Claude (that I could find) so I pasted my input and its response into a gist. It’s verbatim, I promise.

Of course, I believe you. It is verbatim.

You can't compare Zed with Vscode and it's cousins. I've used Zed myself and it is still very lacking, limited extensions. Zed only has syntax highlighting and an ai assistant, but that's it. Even though Vscode (and the rest) is still also considered a text editor and not a IDE, they have by far way more features. Sure, you get super duper high speed, but at what cost?

Fair point are there rust or cpp based ides in parity with vs code to compare?

Not that I know of, I understand the need for performant IDEs but does it really matter that much which language it is written in?

I would rather let Chinese companies take my data than US/EU ones where I have bank accounts. Unless you are a super important, influential person, you shouldn't worry about China.

Yeah, you better hope the code that you’re writing is not important at all.

Yeah, I think ByteDance can also write your chatgpt wrapped in nextjs

Except it has no freaking idea what it's doing, that's the difference.

It's giving a reply that "sounds right to a human" in context. Which, on small scale, is exactly what they, me and you are also doing when writing (or speaking), except for the infrequent cases when we force ourselves to reason through stuff very. slowly. (This is why I believe LLM performance is best judged against human inner voice/system 1 reasoning, not the entirety of human thinking. When thinking with system 1,…

No, when I'm talking to someone I'm generally not randomly associating and dumping whatever I come up with, I typically have something I want to say.

Has it gotten better? I tried it out early and it was unusable

Compared to plugin like Sourcegraph Cody with Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Jetbrain's is still atrocious.

is it worth it to buy sourcegraph cody pro ($108/year) for claude 3.5 sonnet + "advanced contextual awareness and code intelligence", even though trae provides claude 3.5 sonnet for free now?

VScode phones home… what's the difference? Use something like emacs/vim/kate/eclipse/qtcreator if you want to avoid "phone home" software.

If an American company does something bad with my data, it's possible -- not guaranteed, but possible -- that it will be punished. If a Chinese company does the same, at most someone in China will shrug.

But giving it to the government in USA is considered "good", so they won't be punished no.
