Thank you so much for that link, it was fascinating. My primary care doctor had told me a few years ago about an AI that can look at photos of skin irregularities (moles, etc.) and detect with 99% accuracy whether they should be biopsied for cancer, which is being used in places where there aren't many doctors so people know if they Really Have To travel 3 hours to the big hospital. AND THAT IS SO POWERFUL AND FUCKING COOL. And it's that kind of thing that is fundamentally useful in the world.
in some ways I don't think ChatGPT's code is any different than, three years ago, when I would google "how do I make a pop-up in JavaScript" and get someone's example where I needed only to copy-paste. It can do a lot of very basic tasks, but I genuinely do not think it can do what I need to do, if only because people cannot describe what they want in such a way as to make it useful. (I spend A LOT of time applying 15 years of experience with the specific plan I'm working in and 25 years of domain knowledge to tease out what the user actually wants to do versus what they say. It's possible AI will get there, but even as it is now, it requires good prompts to do the thing.)
