OP could just link an actual source but he's a jerk https://www.wired.com/story/this-chatbot-is-just-a-random-guy-lol/

Reminds me of the time one of the leaders in AI was actually 700 people in India

Wasn't there some other "AI" bot that turned out to just be a room full of dudes in India?

Plot twist: He's an advanced android from the future trying to mess with people.

How did he do drawings even remotely quick enough? Was it just like 5 second MS paint stick figures?

I like this better

His answers were probably more accurate

He should charge less, and take in the $$$

Is this the guy that drew the hilarious picture of a rabbit?

A real modern Mechanical Turk.
digitreal
Let's guess he answered 1 user request per minute, since he also 'drew pictures'. That's 500 hours of user responses. If he worked 40 hours per week, he did this 12 and a half weeks before getting found out.
pyroshen
That's a pretty generous time estimate. A simple back and forth conversation could have each message being considered a "request"
Bystandr
Yeah its pretty impressive for a solo feat

Not sure there was a "before getting found out". He wasn't hiding the fact that its literally just him. This is an art project. The tag is literally "Artisanal intelligence, handcrafted by one human"

real life Mentat
lonosham
Probably why he doesn’t drink Diet Coke
Atomic2
You're thinking of "mentos". "Mentat" is when a male has large breasts.
SpicyTrashManda
I think that’s man tits, mentat is one of those tall green bugs with the foldy hands.
abirduphigh
Forgive me, I think you're thinking of a mantis. A mentat is the a barbwire tattoo around a gentlemen's bicep.

Like the story of John Henry.
geekykeycap
I refer to developers who refuse to use AI as John Henry's lol. Like, I get it man but it's gonna be rough for those poor souls.
LordSithis
Devs who use ai to give them a scaffold to work off of? Eh, sure. Devs who just use ai to do all the work without fixing it? Nah, they deserve what they get
geekykeycap
I agree, I am saying devs who don't use AI *effectively* will have the problem Henry had. I don't like it but that's what the labor market demands for now. I generate all code from detailed prompts, and I read every line to make sure I understand after every edit. Sometimes I refactor by hand but I avoid it unless it's small. You must stay in the drivers seat, keep your mental model up to date! I also write projects on the weekend and during weeknights without AI to stay sharp.

Can be helpful making a first pass integrating a new library into a limited number of components or making a quick POC. One of the main advantages of the latter is that it doesn’t actually work. I’ve been told to deploy a shitty POC to production and it’s actually super helpful to be able to replay “I can’t, it’s AI generated and doesn’t actually integrate with our backend”
geekykeycap
Have you had disappointing results using it in more complex libraries to perform a change? Can i ask what harness you're using, with what model? Also if you don't mind, what languages/configurations were you using this with? I ask cause I use AI for just about everything as a software consultant/implementor. I'm curious what differences we must have.
yamsonyamsonyams
I have started using AI in my work. I COULD take the time to write all my emails… or I could have copilot write them in 5 seconds.
I COULD read my CEOs 5 page company update… or I could read a bullet point summary
I COULD take the time to dive into company data to get answers to sales questions… i can have copilot do it and give me the answers
I either do this snd pick up the pace or Im in the next round of layoffs, and then have to do it at my next job (if I can get one)
It’s awesome
perfecteye18
The thing is, you either send them without proofreading or you have to proofread them, removing the time saved. Also have some pride in yourself. Your own thoughts and chosen words.
yamsonyamsonyams
Do you not proofread the emails that you write? I do.
I’ve done it both ways - using the assistant saves time
Just yesterday, I drafted a proposal for a contract extension. Then I had copilot reformat it, soften the tone, and create two versions – one for the customer and one for our contracts team.
You’re not the first person to point out that proofreading takes time , or the first person to forget that you’re gonna be proofreading whether you draft it yourself or not
RumailMaxlowBaronVonAlabasterSerenitydePeriwinkleXXIII
Imagine me laughing the first, tenth, and hundredth time it fucks things up for your and your day - at least - is completely ruined as a result.
Because I will be *laughing*.
yamsonyamsonyams
Unlike you, I proofread the things I read; your comment is barely coherent. Im sure you struggle with a lot of things in life and that’s why you are the way you are.
But since you were so kind to me, I will return the favor. I hope for you that you get to watch someone you love suffer. I mean really, truly suffer. while you watch them in agony, their life slipping away, I hope you think of me, andI hope you remember how big you felt wishing ill on a stranger.
