Retool, a development platform for business software, recently published the results of its State of AI survey. Over 1,500 people took part, all from the tech industry:...
Over half of all tech industry workers view AI as overrated::undefined
I’m not going to dox myself by giving proof, but I have used it to create novel, complex frameworks from scratch. Sure, it starts with my idea and guidance. But nearly 100% of the code and documentation is AI generated. Nobody has been able to tell the difference when I show it to them. We’re talking engineers who became leads years ago.
If that’s you’re experience, then it speaks volumes about your ability to communicate. If you can lead a team and communicate requirements, then you can use AI.
Sorry that my personal experience with ChatGPT is ‘wrong.’ if you feel the need to insult everyone who disagrees with you, that seems like a better indication of your ability to communicate than mine. Furthermore, I think we’re talking about different levels of novelty. You haven’t told me the exact nature of the framework you developed, but the things I’ve tried to use ChatGPT for never turn out too well. I do a lot of ML research, and ChatGPT simply doesn’t have the flexibility to help. I was implementing a hierarchical multiscale LSTM, and no matter what I tried ChatGPT kept getting mixed up and implementing more popular models. ChatGPT, due to the way it learns, can only reliably interpolate between the excerpts of text it’s been trained on. So I don’t doubt ChatGPT was useful for designing your framework, since it is likely similar to other existing frameworks, but for my needs it simply does not work.

I have spent most of my professional career trying to get engineers to unionize and fight for better wages/benefits. The vast majority are apathetic and passive. Now we have a brand new technology that won’t make the profession obsolete, but will make the need for their labor obsolete. I’m personally in a safe spot. I have the portfolio and network to ensure I will have opportunities to work no matter what. But how many engineers simply do not have that? MBAs will raze this profession to the ground for short-term profits. They’ll destroy every pipeline that takes in entry-level engineers and gives them a chance to grow.
As far as I know, you’re just another engineer who doesn’t see what’s coming down the road. Pleasant speech hasn’t worked to get people to wake up over the past two years, and I’m running out of patience like you’re all running out of time.
since it is likely similar to other existing frameworks
And that’s the problem. You claim to be in ML research, and you don’t even know what your own tools and field are capable of. I haven’t just made frameworks that are “copies” of a framework but in another language, or a combination of existing frameworks. GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 are capable of novel outputs when given sufficient guidance. I’ve gotten it to fill in architecture gaps and implement complex, recursive functions. I don’t believe for a second that it’s “self aware”. But it’s far more capable than even you realize.
I’m willing to bet that if I were in your shoes I could get at least some usable output from it for your use case.
Let’s play a little game, then. We bothe give each other descriptions of the projects we made, and we try to make the project based on what we can get out of ChatGPT? We send each other the chat log after a week or something. I’ll start: the hierarchical multiscale LSTM is a stacked LSTM where the layer below returns a boundary state which will cause the layer above it to update, if it’s true. the final layer is another LSTM that takes the hidden state from every layer, and returns a final hidden state as an embedding of the whole input sequence.
I can’t do this myself, because that would break OpenAI’s terms of service, but if you make a model that won’t develop I to anything, that’s fine. Now, what does your framework do?
Cool. I’ll get back to you with a DM after the holidays. I’m not going to devote a week to proving a random internet stranger wrong, but I’ll at least give you a few hours.
You could not possibly be more wrong.

You talk a confident, condescending game for someone who cant substatiate any of their claims lol.
EDIT: Dear lord after looking through your comments i regret enabling you. Fuck isreal, free palestine, AI is overhyped…
Okay Tankie.
LOL

Here’s the paper I referenced while implementing it: https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.03595
