3 years ago, these things became useful. Every year, they're drastically better. Most juniors are already dead weight. Most of the rest of us are next.
IDK how it could be otherwise. It's moving too fast and gone too far already.
I'd love to know if you still felt that way after seeing what I do in a day. Company IP won't allow it. Maybe I'll stream some personal dev work or something.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but, I'd be shocked if you were still so adamant (assuming you're rational and not in your own psychosis).
Here's something I'm about to drop on AI. Like 90% of things like this, when I ask for a fix (with a few skills), get fixed with fewer edge cases left dangling than I'd have left if I'd spent all week on this stuff. And, it'll be done before tomorrow, with no further input from me. This is a list I put together in about 1 hour.
Things to fix with OCR text labeling
- vertical line in center breaks box-drag
- nope, not line in middle... IDK why, but the drag pretty frequently snaps back to original position in middle of drag... lets me keep dragging, but have to start back from there
- happens with "draw stamp box" too
- forces me to re-click the button to start over
- add zoomed view of text in bottom right corner of video
- add ability to restrict OCR
- current job is 0 1 2 3 4 X 6 7 8 9
- 5 is an X, for some reason
- is detecting full alphanumeric
- add ctrl+z undo for modifications to drawn box
- deleting character in middle of "your label" text box jumps cursor to end
I could do even better than you in 30 minutes and let it write code for a satellite if I wouldn't care about quality. But at this point I have the feeling I'm talking to a bot
Yeah, I'm not saying this is an example of great work. It's sufficient for the job - more time spent refining my instructions isn't necessary.
What I'm saying is, with just the effort it takes to notice and somewhat-sloppily mention things, they get fixed, and usually fixed well. Further testing will tell us whether it needs more work or not.
They may have never had these troubles at all, if I'd coded by hand originally, but then, this particular app would've never been written, because it wouldn't justify that amount of work.
Out of sight, out of mind. It is unexciting because in that future, there is nothing to think about related to this topic. What is exciting about something that is irrelevant for humans since nobody looks at it anymore?
