"PostgresSQL"? "SQL Lite"? Not even getting the names of the supported databases right doesn’t create trust…

We are entering into an era of AI-generated programs. Brace yourself and enjoy the shitshow.

On the other hand, the chatbots let enthusiasts like these guys write code. There are millions of them. And each of them, even if they are 1/2 as good as you rustman123, for starters they will learn the right names for things, that’s not challenging, and secondly, they have more time than you have for this problem, which you have zero.

The chatbots are the Zero to One for programming.

So listen I agree with you. I’m not going to use this. But hundreds of thousands of smart people with time, like these guys, can now author stuff that will get better over time faster than you personally will solve any one particular problem for anyone. So something something, log in your own eye before the thorn in the other.

This would make Peter himself cringe let alone the rests of us.

That said, if you really believe this, I've got an AI product to sell you. It's the Zero to One for anything you want. It's called HypeLLM.

given enough monkeys typing, we would have the greatest novel of all kinds.

This is true. In theory. In practice, the real struggle is to find the gem in an ocean of garbage.

Something that cannot be found simply doesn't exists for any practical terms.

Nature has a way to triage its sheer numbers of genetic permutations : wastness of the world and mostly infinite time.

idk why you’re getting downvoted. you’re absolutely right and not disparaging in any way. sometimes hn can’t see the forest for the trees…
