  • Having done it for a living for a few months, you cannot possibly imagine how bad it gets.

    No, seriously. I already had very little faith in humanity going in, and thought I’d seen the worst the internet had to offer. Scraping the actual bottom of the barrel is difficult to even describe. I had to force a stunned sense of humor about it to detach myself a bit as a coping mechanism.












  • They’re pretty reasonable for consensus-based programming prompts as well like “Compare and contrast popular libraries for {use case} in {language}” or “I want to achieve {goal/feature} in {summary of project technologies}, what are some ways I could structure this?”

    Of course you still shouldn’t treat any of the output as factual without verifying it. But at least in the former case, I’ve found it more useful than traditional search engines to generate leads to look into, even if I discard some or all of the specific information it asserts

    Edit: Which is largely due to traditional search engines getting worse and worse in recent years, sadly
