This does not take a couple of hours. I can assure you of that.

The app description sounds like it was more work to come up with than the app code itself.

Also, this is an extremely common, bland and simplistic example. You’ll see it flail and falter on slightly less generic boilerplate-heavy “apps” and there is no known tech/theory that’ll get us there. We just hope more “scale” will magically solve all its issues, but IMO that’s not going to happen. The paradigm just doesn’t allow it. Time will tell who is right of course.

I don’t want to downplay the recent LLM achievements because they are amazing, but this is not taking any (programming) jobs.

I’m actually not too worried about the current wave of AI. Copilot is an annoyance and GPT4 is lying so much it’s getting old. LLMs have deep issues that I’m not seeing much improvement on. The next wave of AI however.. I’m not sure. It’s a matter of time.
