AI creates a pathway back into the garden of eden.
Some people never left it obviously.

I'm a computer programmer.
At times, I find AI highly illuminating - far better at finding the answers I need that traditional search engines.
At other times, AI provides flawed or completely wrong answers to my programming queries.
I'm happy to use AI as a resource when programming. If I'm puzzled, I'll query the AI and sometimes it finds exactly what I'm looking for. At other times, AI is extremely misleading - to the point where time is wasted debunking code/answers provided by AI.
Frankly, I'm surprised at how sophisticated AI has become over the past 2 to 3 years.

Nothing has developed faster than IT in the last 50 years.

AI artificial intelligence or just intelligence. I think the tech bro's will keep developing this tech until it can do the work of everyone. Maybe 10% - 20% of all work now but in 5 years time who knows. Are we ready as a society for self driving trucks and buses. Robot surgeons, fully automated call centres, robots in the home as cleaners.
Man, I wish someone would have warned us about the coming revolution in the robotics and AI sector 5 years ago.
This is still where this all ends btw.

Can’t disagree with this.
Personally I’ve found it really does depend how big the training pool has been is a major contributing factor. If you are looking for stuff in a widely known language/frame work general c#, python react/react native etc then it’s pretty decent.
If you’re looking for a less well known framework ( in my case Maui at the moment) it’s awful. I’d say at least 50% of my queries have resulted in incorrect responses or rabbit holes that go no where.

On a different note, there really does seem to be a situateion where the C level teams at companies believe that AI is currently more advanced that it is and are starting to rely on it far to much, a client of ours at the CEO level honestly believes that he can make any software he needs himself just using Cursor. Thankfully he tried it and failed horrifically.
For me there are 3 groups of companies. those trying to sprint before they can walk, they will over rely on it and will fail because of it, and we just have to hope they dont cause significant damage when failing, prime example would be a company that makes dangerous stuff like Nuclear reactors cutting corners on engineeers and trusting what AI gives them and it causes a meltdown.
there will be companies that learn to walk before they run and make a success of it.
and then there will be the cautious companies. those who avoid AI due to risks of data leaks etc and just get left so far behind the curve they cant catch up. again another client of ours has a risk of this, they had a hard NO policy on AI for the last 18 months. its only in the last month or 2 they have started to allow it to be used.

5 years ago they were just getting started. 5 years before that they were planning and 5 years before that they were inventing most of this stuff and now they are investing in it a developing it.

Interesting.
My language of choice, currently, is Rust. I use RustRover and it's bundled with an AI-code assistant that's currently free of charge. Probably 3/4ths of the time, whatever the RustRover AI says is wrong.
Google queries seem to be a lot better. Probably 50% of the time Google AI offers code that if not correct, at least points in the right direction.
It was a reference to some conversations I was having on here about 8 years ago and was called a mad doomsayer
Robotics/AI
I think it's bigger than all of those. I think Robotics will be a social revolution of the size of only two others in terms of change - the Agricultural Revolution which essentially invented the concept of cities and the Industrial Revolution which invented the concept of mechanical labour. I...

Which in itself is a reference to a 10 year old discussion here:
Can people pick holes in this please?
I see the fact that we're broadly rewarded for the benefit we confer upon others to be quite egalitarian in a sense. Why shouldn't a footballer, who's had little or no formal education, be paid insane sums of money if he brings a degree of happiness to millions? Why shouldn't a plumber earn...

I've seen this coming for a decade and started transitioning careers because of it. The "It's going to kill us all with absolutely no escape" thing was something I realised about 6 or 7 years back
That’s how AIDS started

Cant say i've tried the google AI results as for general searching ive found that pretty poor. I've been bouncing between ChatGPT and Gemini recently, I did also try the IDE inbuilt stuff like GitHubCoPilot and Jetbrains AI. for Maui at least they are all very similar in quality of responses. I don't think Maui is helped by the fact it came from Xamarin and the AI regularly churns out old Xamarin responses that don't work anymore.
As an aside how are you finding Rust? Not looked into that yet but I've been wanting to. just not had the time or a business case to sell the idea of learning it in work hours.

Rust is my favorite language by far.
IMO C/C++ are doomed in the long run - because the C and C++ design committees are either intrinsically incapable of offering a safe language (C) and/or prioritize speed over safety and progress towards safety is handicapped by backwards compatibility and lack of focus (C++).
If you want a low-level, pedal-to-the-metal language like C or C++, but are frustrated with the extremely poor safety guarantees inherent in C/C++ (dangling pointers, opt in to safety versus safety by default, numerous footguns for safety and concurrency) then I think you'll love Rust!
Check out this overview of Rust if you have 12 minutes or so to spare (I've jumped the video start time to skip over boilerplate "click on subscribe" content).
