  • 19 y/o here. Doing bachelors in software development, just finished exams on the second semester. Doing a thing where we’re technically employed by a company, but studying for a few months, then working for the company. Paid all the time, and the company pays for the studies.

    Almost everyone uses LLMs there. I can only really tell how that’s going for one mate who’s in the same company as me, but essentially: I’m doing everything for him. He prompted the company’s internal wrapper for ChatGPT once, to get a C# MVC project. Then made it add some features. Especially the second prompt has gone very wrong, and over the seven weeks I did my three-four small projects, he’s learned nothing, and essentially just asked me to fix another bug every week. I have no experience in C#, only some Java, and fixed the basic logic bugs in minutes each time. Now, I’m happy to help you, but you should’ve realized by the second or third week that that’s shit. Just learn and redo it. Properly. While understanding what you’re doing. Obviously, state-of-the-art LLMs are not even near producing working code or debugging. So you of course need to learn, in any case anyway.




  • So:
    “AI” = Term specifically for ML tailored towards brain dead end users, as we see with image gen, LLMs etc.

    The original commenter specifically said: Using AI to eg. cure cancer.
    That means specifically using LLMs etc. to cure cancer. Which is Bullshit. It’s way less effective than simpler, specialized neural networks. Therefore, the original commenter wrote bullshit.
