> the rubber ducky was replaced with two smarter duckies - Github Copilot and ChatGPT
One thing I realized when I used the smarter duckies is that their strength is also their weakness. They are too fast and too good. So they accept your question too easily.
I had an experience recently where i was trying to get an answer in StackOverflow while typing the question midway, it's precisely it's not as efficient that it made me realize my question had a wrong approach altogether. https://twitter.com/KimStacks/status/1605032489436717057
i wonder if ChatGPT and the like would ever be that smart to do that
Yes, I think that will improve over time. As I said in the piece, they aren't quite there yet to replace human programmers, and knowing that your question has the wrong angle is part of it :)
Cool roundup
I particularly like the line

I won't bet against it tho

I’m not too worried (or I spoke too soon 😁) abt the AI replacing programmers
But I’m a bit less sure abt some of the overly one sided ( not you, Sairam) coverage I see elsewhere about chatGPT replacing the tools we have now
ChatGPT is great and my point is its strength now might also be its weakness
Then again I also look forward to GPT4 and it’s chat version 😆
Happy new year, Sairam
I think there are a few who are nuanced in their take on ChatGPT. It's great but not perfect like you say :)
Happy new year, KimSia!
The way you tied in the world cup with AI was beautiful. Nicely done!
Thanks so much for the awesome feedback, Alvin. Happy holidays and new year to you! :)
