    AI will not replace software engineers, exhibit fuck knows how many.

      Wonder if ChatGPT just scraped an example token from somewhere and is using that.

          Not exactly related, but I run an unraid game server for friends and use a lot of the preconstructed docker apps for games.

          Most of them come with the server name preset and the server password preset.

          I’ve jumped into many a “private” server called Docker-GAMENAME with the password still set to “Docker”

            I think it was some XMPP related server I ran quite a few years ago which had ‘i_have_read_the_manual = 0’ or something similar buried into default configuration file. And it would just silently exit if that variable was not set properly.

            Maybe we need more things like that.

              And it would just silently exit if that variable was not set properly.

              Would’ve used that debug log to scold the end-user. “If you’ve actually read the first 3 lines of the documentation you wouldn’t be seeing this.”

        I’ve heard that phrase a handful of times now and it’s already making my eye twitch. Though I don’t think it’s meant to be complimentary.

        Yes, that’s the joke.

        AI creates almost (but not) good enough stuff really fast. And occasionally straight up hallucinates stuff that is meaningless or worse.

        So this person has a huge stack of functional but broken crap, and it’s blaming X for their woes.

        There’s an old saying that goes roughly “It takes four times the experience to maintain a program as it took to write it. So anyone writing the most clever program they can think of is, by definition, not competent to maintain it.”

        In this case, it’s extra funny, because neither the AI nor the AI user has the faintest idea how the generated code works. So maintaining it is almost certainly 1000% outside their abilities.

        So they’ve paid an AI for the privilege unpleasant daily panic of learning everything they need to learn after the app has gone to production, rather than before.

    What cracks me up is that he is not technical so it takes him longer than usual to figure it out :D :D :D :D

    He usually figures these things out much quicker but this time he is struck by some “not being technical” illness. As soon as it passes, he will figure it out as usual.

      Listen you can whine about tech or you can start building with it.

      And by building, I mean telling it what it should do.

      And by telling it what it should do, I mean typing out what you want.

      And by telling it what you want, I mean explaining a crypto bro idea in a rant to Chat GPT.

      I mean he’s not technical but I’m sure he’s really nailed this one.

      Just hold your phone over it. You’ll feel a tingly sensation in your intestines, but be not afraid, you just got the emotion bottled.

    I’ve always appreciated the feature of AI coding tools, where they confidently tell you they’ve done something completely wrong. Then if you call them on it, they super-confidently say: “Of course, here’s what needs to be done…”

    Then proceed to do something even worse.

    If I were leojr94, I’d be mad as hell about this impersonator soiling the good name of leojr94—most users probably don’t even notice the underscore.
