I have a coworker who is essentially building a custom program in Sheets using AppScript, and has been using CGPT/Gemini the whole way.

While this person has a basic grasp of the fundamentals, there's a lot of missing information that gets filled in by the bots. Ultimately after enough fiddling, it will spit out usable code that works how it's supposed to, but honestly it ends up taking significantly longer to guide the bot into making just the right solution for a given problem. Not to mention the code is just a mess - even though it works there's no real consistency since it's built across prompts.

I'm confident that in this case and likely in plenty of other cases like it, the amount of time it takes to learn how to ask the bot the right questions in totality would be better spent just reading the documentation for whatever language is being used. At that point it might be worth it to spit out simple code that can be easily debugged.

Ultimately, it just feels like you're offloading complexity from one layer to the next, and in so doing quickly acquiring tech debt.

Sandboxes are literally grounds for infinite creativity. Just look at The Lego Movie. No, if there's an issue with this movie it's that they aren't using the sandbox to its full potential, at least as far as our initial impressions can tell us. We have all seen every single one of the story beats shown in the trailer before in other movies.

I don't think so. It requires at least some inherent knowledge of tape decks, that they have "head" readers and that those need cleaning.

I can only think of one. The original movie of The Barnyard. It's a kids movie, of course, and it was never going to be great, but kids were asking to leave that movie. That's impressive.

Part of their mission is to expose hypocrisy, and vandalism does work to that end. Particularly if the vandal in question is Christian.

I think the difference is that when you pay discord, they stop advertising to you.

To summarize: the video opens on a series of games, each one progressively older, overlaid with a review of that game from the time it came out praising it as the best graphical fidelity of its time. Basically, they're saying "Yes, graphics got better, but we always seem to conclude that they're the best they will ever be"

I love this idea. Unfortunately, I think it's just a slightly unnatural vocal performance. Even though AI can perfectly replicate voices tonally, they can't truly generate the same cadence and inflections, or sometimes even get close without a good deal of human assistance. I suspect this will change over time. As with ChatGPT, we'll be looking to AI to solve the problem of AI mimicking humans too well.

Seems like a good deal if it proactively convinces bad actors to stop from reaching out

I think with the registration questions they're just trying to solve two things: preventing bots from signing up, and preventing trolls. It doesn't seem so bad, really.
