Show me one assistant who can promise they are right 100% of the time and I will show you one liar. Copilot & Copilot Chat cut down my coding time on a brand-new ML optimizer that was released in a paper last week from what would have been 20+ hours into a 4-hour session and I got fancy testing code as a free bonus. If I had coded it by myself and taken the full amount of time it would have taken to figure out which parameter was being sent on which layer for which gradient was currently being processed, I wouldn't have had the energy to write any tests. I don't understand what people's expectations are of AI that they're being disappointed. You figure out the limitations quickly if you use it on a regular basis, and you just adapt those shortcomings into your mental calculus. I still code plenty by myself in a good old vim session because I don't think copilot would actually be very useful in reducing the amount of time it would take me to code something up, but I don't count that as a "failure" of AI, I view it as knowing when to use a tool and when not to. |
