  • What if you could code just by talking out loud? GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke shows how, thanks to AI, the barrier to entry to coding is rapidly disappearing - and creating software is becoming as simple (and joyful) as building LEGO. In a mind-blowing live demo, he introduces Copilot Workspace: an AI assistant that helps you create code when you speak to it, in any language.

      Exactly. As a software engineer, I tell people that 90% of my job is to translate the client's nebulous and frankly often incorrect idea of what they sort of want into an accurate, actionable plan, a.k.a. code. If they know exactly what they want to the point where an AI can write the code for them, they wouldn't need someone like me. Fortunately for me, this is not a skill you can get without years of training and experience.

      yeah even when you ask IA to give you innovative ideas, you still have to discard 95% of them because they are not relevant. It isn't that smart currently, it just gives ideas and most ideas come from ideas that were already shared on the internet or combination of them, so not that innovative and those ideas are adapted to the reality when they were produced, a reality that has already changed in the meantime, so not that relevant to the present.
      And about the futur.... What futur we want to build ? it's still a human choice, IA won't tell us what we want.

      I think this is a wider issue with this AI stuff in general. My guess is that even if we had a super-intelligent AI that could answer any question perfectly most people simply wouldn't care that much.

    @shockwave3318 Před 23 dny +112

    No, a lot of this is blatantly false. I have some serious issues with what this guy is saying and here's a list.
    1. Large language models only mimick understanding.
    Large language models work by looking at patterns in code or in writing and use this pattern recognition to predict what should come next. They DON'T understand what you're prompt is and what you mean. If you for example ask a simple question: How many fingers are normally on a hand? There language model through pattern recognition predicts the result to be 5 as that is the most common answer given in the training set. It doesn't actually know what a hand is or why the answer is correct. If it makes a false prediction. It will never understand why because LLM's can't understand anything. If something goes wrong you will have no understanding on how to fix it and if you are trying to do something unique or strange the AI cannot help you.
    2. LLM's in software development is not good enough to replace actual software developers.
    I have used co-pilot in a work context. Honestly it's great if I am writing boilerplate(often repeated bits and structures). It fails when it tries to get into the weeds of the software I'm writing. It also often gives code that I can blatantly see won't work in the context I'm writing in because the context is often unique. As stated before it doesn't understand what your writing it just predicts what the most likely outcome is.
    3. I have worked with people in software who use AI as a crutch and they are frankly useless.
    I have been in projects with a small team where a number of then used AI as a crutch for their lack of understanding. While the code they write(copy/paste) from chargpt. Often has the right idea but they had no idea how to adapt it to the context we were writing in and didnt understand why the specific implementation given by the AI won't ever work within project. You can't replace knowledge with an AI because again an AI doesn't understand. This leads me on to my 4th point.
    4. Blindly relying on AI is actively dangerous.
    So as I have drilled in with my last three points. AI can't understand anything and if you have a developer who doesn't understand anything either. What happens when the AI gives you a piece of code that has a security vulnerability in it but otherwise works as normal? It never gets fixed. This probably won't happen too often but there is a more likely scenario.
    The AI generated perfectly valid code that works but in the context of the application because of how it is setup, it causes a security risk. Large codebases can be very complicated and so something that seems safe in no context or in a small context can actually lead to a lot of problems elsewhere. It requires understanding to catch these issues.
    I can list a couple more but these are the most important. AI in its current form is NOT a substitute for a software developer. What this guy is promoting is misleading and harmful but if you are a software developer it can really help. AI is a good supplement to a developer and should be treated as such. It is not a replacement for knowledge, skill and experience.
    For simple tasks like simple scripts, standard tricks or boilerplate it's perfectly fine if you are inexperienced but I would recommend you actually take the time to understand what has been generated. You might learn a new skill.
    Edited for grammer.

      Replies:
      1. I don't think humans understand what anything is either. We have a complex system of symbols that we memorize called words. And we use those words to describe things we don't even understand. The AI is doing the same thing. This is a problem that goes back to Kant. We will never know reality or the thing-in-itself
      2. That is a dramatic jump in understanding in just a few short years. I used ChatGPT for a simple script for work. I had to debug it, but it made writing the script so much easier. In a few short years the growth in the models will be exponential.
      3. Some people aren't good software engineers. That doesn't mean AI won't advance. Really you just made an additional argument for replacing those developers.
      4. Oh you mean like the buggy code people write haha. Most code is swiss cheese. There are security bugs everywhere. AI is no different now, and pretty soon it will be better than any human can ever be at writing secure code.
      I'd say we have another 5 years before natural language to code between humans and AI is more efficient than using a keyboard.

      You make a lot of fair points, but Gemini Advanced, for example, can now scrape websites with an efficiency such that you can provide it with 4 web addresses at once with data, like say FRED pages, and it can give you the latest figures from each, reliably. This means that it can save a lot of coding to begin with, as it reduces the need for coding an interface to retrieve such data via API calls. Shouldn't ignore this great simplification coming from AI.

    AI definitely lowers the barrier of entry for coding,
    It highly augments people who think systematically and who have a great intuition for how to build software and who don't know the syntax or language by heart.
    But we're fundamentally far off from leaving a full on project to LLMs with no human input for supervision, direction and conceptual planning.
    The level of abstraction will get ever higher as systems get more complex.
    So anyone can dictate an idea for an small or medium size app, but not anyone will have sufficient background coding knowledge and understanding to adjust it when it doesn't work in one shot and to know how to improve it when the AI system can't predict a different more creative approach.
