My pretty clueless colleague wants a license for a programming AI. I tested some for a while and while they can certainly help ease tedious tasks or build a scaffold you can check and populate with logic, it’s not useful as an artificial colleague writing for you. I really don’t want her to work that way, because she doesn’t know what she does and seldomly checks her own code. I’d prefer if she’d learn to code before delegating parts of it to an AI.
That’s just it. You have to understand the output; otherwise you get very authoritative looking garbage.
I wrote some rudimentary Python code to do a job by brute force. On a whim, I asked ChatGPT to optimize the code. It did a pretty good job, but I still had to tweak it for my purpose.
