This and the “I asked AI …” posts are so annoying to me
Are you really that mindless that you can’t conjure thoughts or opinions that are purely your own ?
Which is precisely what I use AI for.
It doesn’t know how to do anything, but it can help me find flaws.
If your use for AI is just rubber duck debugging, an actual rubber duck is significantly less environmentally destructive, and will still be around after OpenAI burn through all their seed capital and can no longer convince investors to keep throwing money into their trash fire.
I didn’t know there was a term for that. Forget debugging, in my algorithms class this is how I figured a lot of stuff out the first time too. I actually don’t know how else you’re supposed to do it. You imagine running through a loop, what specific tasks must be accomplished, and then code those tasks.
Imagine then doing this in a chatGPT prompt! Everything will go so much faster, even if you don’t press “send”!
Exactly. Not an AI phenomenon
One critical benefit of the rubber duck is that it doesn’t make things up.
This is mechanically similar, I agree, but I think the rubber duck is still superior.
And, I think this should be a “lightbulb” moment for people.
I disagree. The rubber duck does not propose alternatives, nor does it point out flaws.
The flaws may be wrong, but then I have to justify it, which forces me to reconsider what I’ve written.
It’s like having a script monkey that never took a CS class to bounce ideas off of.
One critical benefit of the rubber duck is that it doesn’t make things up.
You obviously haven’t seen me rubber duck debug.
If this reaction were physically possible, I would have made it after reading that:
That is a level of lack of self-awareness I haven’t seen in ages. No wonder these idiots believe AGI is right around the corner. They’re modelling it after themselves.
the “I” stood for Idiot all along.
If your prompts aren’t good enough, consider getting an AI to write them for you.
I mean, we’re almost at that point 🙄
Novak is one of the voices I miss from the old Twitter. If you never have, do yourself a favor and read his long form article on historical grifter Napoleon Hill: https://paleofuture.com/blog/2016/12/6/the-untold-story-of-napoleon-hill-the-greatest-self-help-scammer-of-all-time
Well. He’s on Bluesky. Presumably doing the same thing he did on Twitter.
edit: typo
Doesn’t load?
Then why can’t people who’s whole personality is politics?
