I am a software engineer and nearly every time when I used a model for something, it made shit up that didn’t work this way or didn’t even exist. I always ended up reading documentation and fixing the problem myself.

The only thing where AI is somewhat decent in the context of software development is Code Completion. JetBrains’ models are doing an ok job in that regard.

Two of my friends are paying for it. One works as a developer and one in DevOps. Currently, both of them have a ChatGPT subscription. The first one now shares a lot of Dall-E images picturing his dog and the other one recently showed us proudly how he could tell ChatGPT about our DnD Session so that it generates a summary for us. The latter took nearly forever and had a lot of funny errors in it.

I really don’t get why people are paying over 20€/month for this shit.
