| > The haiku at the end is not a haiku, technically Yeah, haikus are 17 japanese mora, and so if it doesn't come from the mora region of japan it's not a true haiku, it's just a short poem. > I imagine that folks would typically want some correctness guarantees Us programmers really value correctness, but the real world doesn't actually care about it in quite a few cases. In the real world, most data comes from humans, and humans make mistakes all the time, so basically any data might have some amount of error. There's a high tolerance for a few minor mistakes here and there. In the real world, tasks are often given to interns, and they make small mistakes all the time, but it mostly ends up being okay. If AI manages to do the same, well, that's a huge swath of tasks it can do. > I can't think of many tasks that can be done consistently well by AI that can't also be done with simpler software Here's the thing though: "simpler software" probably isn't actually cheaper, available, or usable. It's probably not simpler to operate since, you know, english is simpler than any DSL us programmers have come up with until now. |
