Is it? Or is it just great at making you think that? I’ve seen many ChatGPT outputs “explaining” something I’m knowledgeable of and it being deliriously wrong.
I agree. I have a very specialized knowledge in certain areas, and when I’ve tried to use chat GPT to supplement my work, it often misses key points or gets them completely wrong. If it can’t process the information, it will err on the side of creating an answer whether it is correct or not, and whether it is real or not. The creators call this “hallucination.”
A coworker tried to use it with a well-established Python library and it responded with a solution involving a Class that did not exist.
LLMs can be useful tools but, be careful in trusting them too much - they are great at what I’d say is best described as “bullshitting”. It’s not even “trust but verify” it’s more “be skeptical of anything that it says”. I’d encourage you to actually read the docs, especially those for libraries as it will give you a deeper understanding of what’s actually happening and make debugging and innovating easier.
Plus when I say “AI will kill data entry jobs” I don’t mean ChatGPT3.5/4.0, I’m talking about either a dedicated Saas offering or a future LLM model intended for individual Enterprise environment deployment and trained specifically on company data alongside Cloud and Data engineering.
Keep downvoting the guy who literally works in IT and is seeing these changes happen in real time, I’m sure you all know better than I do.
AI will annihilate most data entry workers in the next few years as well.
I wish i could trust AI to do data entry.
AI is very stupid and breaks in ways you wouldn’t expect
Some AIs are more intelligent than the average person.
Ask a normal person to do the tasks ChatGPT can and I bet the results would be even worse.
Ask chatGPT to do things a normal person can, and it also fails. ChatGPT is a tool, a particularly dangerous swiss army chainsaw.
I use it all the time at work.
Getting it to summerize articles is a really useful way to use it.
It’s also great at explaining concepts.

Yeah it is if you prompt it correctly.
I basically use it instead of reading the docs when learning new programming languages and Frameworks.
That’s great, it works until it doesn’t and you won’t know when unless you already are knowledgeable from a real source.
You know it doesn’t work when you try and tell it doesn’t work and it’ll usually correct itself.

Ive had no problem using them. The more specific you get the more likely they are to do that. You just have to learn how to use them.
I use them daily for refactoring and things like that without issue.

That’s why QA will still exist.

Literally what computer programmes are. A large part of development is making sure end users do things correctly.
It’s a perfect task for AI. In fact most of it is achievable with standard coding.
