You may try to attack my character by implying a bot or throwaway account but my point stands and all metrics agree with what i said. I literally used the newest model of a certain company (not naming them) and the agent finished a weeks work in 2 sessions. It even found lib incompatibilities and a weird bug in codebase without even prompting for that. The models became better but the harness got really good now. Your experience may be a skill issue, your prompts may suck or even your codebase might be too big, or cope, either way we are screwed, please don’t give a false hope by moving the goalpost each time a llm evolves further, it’s better for programmers to swim with the wave and evolve with the profession than be stuck in denial and becone obsolete.

    I implied you were neither of those things - I just quite openly called you a shill. Perhaps you should ask an AI for tips on improving your reading comprehension?

    Y’all have been saying “the problem is you’re not using the newest model/harness” to any criticism for 3 years now lol

    I think the truth is somewhere in the middle, but I could be wrong. I work in a non-programming technical field and I am also impressed and concerned by the progress the models have made over the last few years, especially in terms of being able to “do my job”. Like the other guy was saying, there are still issues with its implementations, and the second you begin to think it’s perfect or immutable, you notice issues that would have been show stoppers if they made it through. And at the end of the day, at least for what I do, if nobody is here to press the buttons, the AI will never be able to do its thing to begin with. I also personally predict that the cost of tokens and utilizing AI services will eventually become overly expensive and encumbered, as does everything under capitalism. Name one thing that hasn’t gotten shittier and more expensive overall. The AI companies haven’t even begun to enter their enshittification stage yet. I maintain that AI in its current form will NOT be able to produce truly novel thought or original work, as it can only put together the Legos that it already has ingested. Perhaps grunt work programming will require less manpower, but cutting-edge developments are still beyond the LLM’s grasp at the moment. Anyways, I welcome other opinions
