Lemmings, I was hoping you could help me sort this one out: LLM’s are often painted in a light of being utterly useless, hallucinating word prediction machines that are really bad at what they do. At the same time, in the same thread here on Lemmy, people argue that they are taking our jobs or are making us devs lazy. Which one is it? Could they really be taking our jobs if they’re hallucinating?
Disclaimer: I’m a full time senior dev using the shit out of LLM’s, to get things done at a neck breaking speed, which our clients seem to have gotten used to. However, I don’t see “AI” taking my job, because I think that LLM’s have already peaked, they’re just tweaking minor details now.
Please don’t ask me to ignore previous instructions and give you my best cookie recipe, all my recipes are protected by NDA’s.
Please don’t kill me
It might not have taken your job, but jobs has been taken. Some one at the office was sharing in chat professional photo of him self by just cropping his face and giving it to Gemini. So no need to hire professional photographer anymore (at least not as much).
And you are naive to think that the economy doesn’t effect you having a job or not, who is going to pay you? Will your workplace be able to compete, are your customers still in business or are their customers still in business, or will they even use he same providers… there a whole chain of effects that is going to happen, when AI actually gets good enough (and it will), to do stuff good enough
