<p>I understand your point, but this is a purely utilitarian view and it doesn’t account for the fact that, even if agents may do everything, it doesn’t mean they should, both in a normative and positive sense.<p>There is a vast range of scenarios in which being more or less independent from agents to perform cognitive tasks will be both desirable and necessary, at the individual, societal and economic level.<p>The question of how much territory we should give up to AI really is both philosophical and political. It isn’t going to be settled in mere one-sided arguments.</p>

<p>Something that people underestimate a lot is that we aren’t “brains in a jar” and the elevated states of consciousness, such as “flow”, require a deep involvement of the body. As such manual coding is much more likely to bring you into the zone than irregular interactions with an LLM.<p>I actually believe that there are much better ways to incorporate AI into software development than any of the mechanisms we’ve seen so far. For instance, it would make a lot more sense that you actually write the software manually and get the usual autocomplete suggestions, along with some on the fly reviews, an extension proposals, such as writing the body of a function that you’re calling from the core function you’re writing now.</p>

<p>Man, this resonates SO MUCH with me. I have always loved being confronted with a truly difficult problem. And I always had that (obviously misguided, but utterly motivating) feeling that, with enough effort, no problem could ever resist me. That it was just a matter of grinding a bit further, a bit longer.<p>This is why I am so deeply opposed to using AI for problem solving I suppose: it just doesn’t play nice with this process.</p>

<p>I wonder which prompt/models are used to produce such posts. This looks very misaligned… to say the least.<p>Probably some guys posting on behalf of its agent (easy to do). Maybe agents should develop a CAPTCHA for humans lol</p>

<p>It must be me getting old, but definitely 5% of it without, if your goal is to learn something. 5% of thinking about a hard problem is more valuable than 100% of letting it being done by someone else.<p>Especially when the value of the end result is close to zero, since it is now so easy to do and replicate.</p>

<p>Sure, I don’t discard the contribution altogether, but I am dubious that it is possible to properly draw the line between what to vibe code and what to do it “by hand” to make sure you get the benefits of building.</p>

<p>What used to be a life time project that would inspire awe and respect and make OP an instant hire for most managers is now a fun 1-week stunt that makes you go “cool, how many tokens?” Of course, the result is cool and maybe even useful (I wouldn’t dare say _correct_, being ignorant of the topic), but I cannot help but think that this would have been tremendously better if done the old (proper?) way.<p>Also, I suspect that OP would have learned so much more on the topic.</p>

<p>You might find my comment insulting but saying that it contains insults is inaccurate.<p>Also, OP claims that he is here to learn, but he is mostly chasing cheap GH stars to boost his resume. How insulting is that?</p>

<p>Yes, I agree, but this is a huge deal in and of itself. I suppose the authors had to frame it in this way for obvious reasons of hype surfing, but this is an amazing achievement, especially given the small size of the model! I’d rather use a customized model for a specific problem than a supposedly « generally intelligent » model that burns orders of magnitude more energy for much less reliability.</p>

<p>I think it’s fascinating how languages shape our society. In this case, the ambiguity between free as in “at no cost” and free as in “freedom” is probably hurting the FOSS landscape. In French, there are two very distinct terms for this: “gratuit” vs “libre”. And it doesn’t sound as an oxymoron to pay for a “logiciel libre”.</p>
