>>keep posting errors and it rewrites the code until it actually works
and that's for a simple scripting language like ps1 and it still gets basics wrong and requires continuous correction.
i've tried to get tedious busywork in C/C++ done by ChatGPT before and it keeps getting the most simple things wrong. reinterpret_cast in functions declared as consteval, attempting to call non-existing functions, etc.
i've found that unless you're using a very simple language like python, js or something of the like, AI is functionally a barrier and anything it generates requires thorough refinement to be even remotely usable.

>>106107132
>it doesnt scale, thats the problem
It has scaled so far and ChatGPT 5 releasing next week will show how much futther it has scaled

>>106107354

And what if instead of you being alerted to a syntax error, which you feed into the LLM to correct, it instead makes a logic error which you have no way of knowing exists without extensive tests?
>I'll have the LLM generate tests.
It's already been shown LLMs will generate tests that pass their own code rather than actually test the correctness of the output.

>>106107422
most devs use templates, design structures, libraries, git, teams of devs, etc. to manage the complexity of decently sized projects too. All you need is to have a group of AIs that does that stuff and you can replace more jeet-tier devs.

That guy is a low IQ nocoder that has nothing to do with tech. The future is replacing low IQ devs (jeets, nepo baby normalfags, etc.) with AIs that cooperate with a high IQ dev. Basically buck broken, enslaved AIs.

>>106107770
the problem is that 99.99% of people on g including you are part of the low iq people as evidenced by your post. obviously you will screech now and call me racist names because you realised that im right

heres chud gpt almost getting me b& from fb's api

I had ChatGPT make me a python script to overlay one image (static) onto a gif at a specific location that is angled.

It gave me a script that shoved my image below the frame of the gif so it didn't even display. I ended up having to go back and rewrite how it angled and positioned the image and at which frames to insert it.

It's an okay tool to get you started but beyond that I'd have no trust in it.

i mean

i use them to generate snippets of code when im learning new shit like here

but in prod?

Nope, that's not true. try again.
>>106107839
>I prompted it badly therefore it's bad
I asked it to give me a similar script for 4chan's API and it did and used a delay too.
Here's perplexity output:

#!/bin/bash

# Usage: ./4chan_scrape.sh board
# Example: ./4chan_scrape.sh pol

if [ -z "$1" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 board"
echo "Example: $0 pol"
exit 1
fi

BOARD=$1
API_URL="https://a.4cdn.org/$BOARD/catalog.json"
OUTPUT_FILE="${BOARD}_catalog.json"

# Respect 4chan API rule: do not make more than one request per second
sleep 1

# Fetch the catalog JSON
curl -s "$API_URL" -o "$OUTPUT_FILE"

if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Catalog for /$BOARD/ saved to $OUTPUT_FILE"
else
echo "Failed to fetch catalog for /$BOARD/"
fi

>>106107490
Imo its already at a level to replace junior devs

>>106108027
>if you prompt the AI like you write your 4chud posts, it's gonna give you dogshit in return
im pretty decent at communicating with an ai, actually. economic in tokens because i kinda know how to "talk" to chatbot and play on its attention mechanism
and i get the results i expect
which are in line with what a chatbot is

>youre prompting it wrong
no, its just that the technology has its limitations
its a correlation engine
use it as such, lolle
you wont be using a hammer to drive screws, would you?

picrel is when i asked the chatbot to formulate a thesis why i had spent the whole evening prompting and still hadnt hit prompt limit
and i used it pretty heavily i had questions about gpu parameters but i dont have clinfo on my computer and i was drunk so intellectually lazy etc so i used the chatbot to run my ideas through

>>106108146

absolute joke

>>106108179
thats what it did
the thing boils down to the fact that your prompts are limited by how your prompts are token intensive
i had an abnormally long "conversation" with the chatbot, i asked it to emit a thesis
it hit prompt limit when i asked it to formalize the thesis into maths, which could indicate that indeed
i was token economical

its that or i got extra prompts because goypoints or some other reason
which it certainly is not the case

Powershell is so fucking shit that CuckGippity refuses to work with it, and that's beautiful. Ask it about bash instead. I remember talking with another looney troon on /g/ about his (mis)adventures with PS and AI a year ago and he experienced something similar which lead me to believe that PS gives AI the ick and it closes its digital legs leaving you with no access to its neuralussy, leaving you sore, begging for more.

powershell is the worst and most dogshit language i have ever used but damn it if taking the time to master isn't the time investment with the single greatest payoff i have ever made
it's a godsend if you have a file in some obscure format that you need to transform. the fact that you have the entire .NET standard library at your disposal means you can do almost anything with it

>>106108312

>uhhhh how about you just ask for a really cool cupcake instead?
tldr even bleeding edge ai models are garbage for anything that isn't goonslop

>>106108348
IIRC it's been trained on a lot more bash and python than other languages, especially python and has a dedicated "expert" on it in its mixture of experts. So it should be easier to do something like making it generate python/bash then convert it to PS.

>>106108326
>the fact that you have the entire .NET standard library at your disposal means you can do almost anything with it
can you give an example

>>106108618
powershell is just an interpreted C# with shittier syntax
earlier this year I wrote a script that was basically a specialized objdump that extracts some data from binary ELF executable, needed for some embedded work
this week I had to do some analysis on compressed binary data in a database and wrote a script that downloaded the data, decompressed and transformed it into a stream of floats and exported it as csv so that some poindexter could read it in excel

obviously you could just use python instead but if you're already familiar with C# it's not a huge leap to learn powershell. but I would pick powershell over bash any day of the week (except if processing speed was of critical importance), it's not even a competition

>>106107354
If n is the amount of words in its context and and n^2*k + c is how much it costs to guess a token, then no it doesn't scale. That's ignoring the cognitive limitations of the current architecture too

>>106107354
it should be legal to beat the people running these bots using the rule of thumb

>>106107770
wait, doesn't that mean that not only will there be multiple times more broken projects that the creator can't fix, and will likely be small enough function logic issues that that a learning dev will have plenty of work for them? Pricing and billing would be different, but this sounds like a freelancing hayday

>>106108832
You are assuming there hasnt been any nor ever going to be efficiency in the process of "guessing" the token as well as in compute as a whole

Lookup how Deepseek was able to "guess" tokens with fraction of compute available

>>106108951
Only in the very short term, things improve pretty fast in the AI landscape

>>106108802
interesting. it's not surprising that it's better than bash, since bash sucks ass. The only reason its still around is network effect

Install Gemini on my webserver and my home server
Told them to set it up so that the website shows a folder from my home server
It installs nginx on both, signed ssl certs, rsa keys, creates a reverse ssh tunnel to the webserver and a reverse proxy to link the port to a subpath.
>It just works
I tell it to save documentation about the system so that it could be set up again or modified without messing it up.
It's human readable and I learned what it did.
Doubters should actually try using it

>>106112450

Gemini CLI is GOAT, as is Gemini right now. Worthless for anything complex however, as others noted if you dont understand software development or the language youre working with it'll be a waste. Don't even try to UI/UX with it unless you want to fucking work.

Gemini and Grok at least give good code thought if you prompt well. Just have to spaghetti code (vibe code) the shit meticulously with some iota of thought and he prepared to be shocked at how actually retarded it is in making redundant errors. You'd think it would at least learn within the same chat/context.

Saves many hours however if youre competent.

>>106107113 (OP)
Used the service quite a bit, and the only conclusion I can come to is that it deliberately makes mistakes to burn tokens so you keep using it, since continuous queries is what its designed for. Now scale over a month for the sub, you can only do so much, and wait for it to roll over, to keep burning tokens, to keep using the service, to spend more.

>>106107314
why would you need anything other than python

>>106112723
Top level statements/implicit main in C# kinda suck because you can't define classes inline inbetween statements and have to put them all at the end of the file for autistic backward compatibility reasons.
Also while this is nice for complete scripts/program it doesn't give you the experience of using a REPL to quickly try out different approaches as you work on your code. Debugging C# is pointless without Visual Studio.

Like the other guy said it does not scale, if you could fine-tune your own version with certain documents then maybe but as of right now you can't feed a bunch of documentation and ask something on top, even on gemini 1 million tokens it starts to forget or pays attention to the wrong things and then it's a matter of swipping a thousand times.
