Over the past few days I've been playing around with the latest Chat-GPT, I _think_ the model is called o1-preview. I've used it for various tasks from writing documentation, specs, shell scripts, to code (in Go).
The result? Well I can certainly say the model(s) are much better than they used to be, but maybe that isn't so much the models per se, but the sheer processing power at OpenAI's data centers? 🤔
But here's the kicker though... If anyone ever for a moment ever think that these "AI" things are intelligent, or that the marketing and hype is ever remotely close to trying to convince of us this "AGI" (Artificial General Intelligence) or ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence), you are sorely mistaken.
Chat-GPT and basically and any other technology based on Generative-AI (Gen-AI), these pre-trained transformers that use adversarial neural networks and insanely multi-dimensional vector databases to model all sorts of things from human language, programming languages all the way to visual and audible art are (_wait for it_):
Incredibly stupid! 🤦♂️
They are effectively quite useless for anything but:
- Reproducing patterns (_albieit badly_)
- Search and Retrieval (_in a way that "seems" to be natural_)
And that's about it.
Used as a tool, they're kind of okay, but I wouldn't use Chat-GPT or CoPilot. I'd stick with something more like Codeium if you want a bit of a fancier "auto complete". Otherwise, just forget about the whole thing honestly. It doesn't even really save you time.

@prologic quoting a friend of mine, C# developer of 25 years now converted to DevOP:
> "If you are not using AI everyday, you're working too much", and "completely worth it \n, no question. Same work output, in less of my time. More breaks for me."
It is not to rely on it 100%. It's just a tool.

@bender Yes. I _think_ as a fancy autocomplete "tool" it's not too shabby. Beyond that I'm not convinced it saves you time at all.
