Agree on France, the EU is particularly rigorous in its oversight of AI also. In terms of the boom/bust in the article, historical patterns are useful to keep in mind, but they don't dictate what will happen.

I can categorically say I'm a productive ChatGPT user as of today. This might not apply to every industry, but for developing/refactoring there is already a GDP-boost with ChatGPT's name on it. Come to think of it, the AI hype-cycle has been in effect for some time already no? Maybe this is the productivity stage...

Really? I asked ChatGPT to code review my code and it halucinated issues that did not exist.

I also had the idea to give it 100 lines of code to refactor but after I got the response I realized that will can't trust that it did not fucked up so I decided to do the cleanup myself.

I can use it as a faster Google search to answer me soem questions, but I need to always check the answers.

Both GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 have gotten considerably worse in quality for me since the May 24 update. Yesterday I asked GPT-4 to refactor some code I'd written in haste with a lot of duplication etc - a typically perfect task for a LLM - and it just gave me the same code back, without comments

My hope is that Intellij guys will move faster with their tools now that there is presure from copilot. There are still plenty of code refactorings that could be automated and are not and also there are obvious bugs that their code analysis do not catch(though I understands JS is a shit language to analyze).

When this open LLM could run on my local machine, I could at least use them to find stuff for me, I work on a big old project, I know there is soem functin or code that does X somewhere but I no longer remember th e files or function names. So a smarter search would be helpful.

Yes! I have been hammering feedback on PyCharm otherwise I’ll just switch to VS
