When you understand how the sausage is made it is hard to be overly excited. I fail to be "mind blown" by ChatGPT because every time someone claims it can do task X they only managed to scrape by within its significant limitations.

If you want superhuman intelligence you are going to need to break through the short term memory limitation of humans. If the AI can memorize a 1 million line code base then it will be practical but everyone is only working with small code snippets or generates the entire code from scratch and then extrapolates that to a million line codebase even though that isn't possible. That is the height of impracticality.

And before anyone accuses me of moving goalposts. I'm not the one moving them. It's the people telling me it can make manual programming obsolete. Why not just stick with what it can do instead of making these claims?
