[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm.  At my work we have a custom IT project and are employing developers and there's no out of the box AI that will work for our purposes.

They are turning on AI features all over the place and encouraging us to use it.   But apparently it's not available for the purpose where we actually would like to try it.[/quote]

What I find interesting is the reason that AI is able to code currently is because it’s been trained on tons of code and stack overflow questions.  If nobody is creating new code or asking new questions on SO, where does new original content come from?

I do admit that ChatGPT does an excellent job of writing specific snippets of code; you’ll still need someone good to understand and integrate, and to design the system architecture.[/quote]

My husband is a principal software engineer and data architect - luckily (I guess) for him, he works in a highly sensitive area of government which likely won’t adopt AI very quickly, if they do at all.  He says the same as the above.  So far, AI can’t do it all.[/quote]

He’s old. He’ll retire before his job becomes obsolete.

Kids just starting out need to be more practical.[/quote]
