ChatGPT (AI)

At the same time it's scary how dependent I am on it already

Said this to my mate the other day. Most spare evenings I'm in my office designing and making various things all using AI. Stuff that I couldn't even dream of being able to do 2 years ago.
I've now got ESP32 devices coded doing all sorts of s**t. Touchscreens, wireless scales etc etc yet I've not actually LEARNT how to do any of it. To my family and friends I look like a f**king genius, yet turn AI off tomorrow and I'll go back to being thick as f**k

Long live AI!

Likewise IT support is going to take a hammering.

When that PHP nonsense landed last week, Claude had identified how it applied to us, talked me through putting mitigations in place, then worked up the full final solution for us all before our hosting company had even got their first email out of the door.

I'm sure some stuff will persist for peace of mind and SLA guarantees but a lot of the smaller scale stuff is just dead now.

Yep, absolutely.

I’m AI-ing myself out of a job as we speak. I think the only thing likely to save me is that I have deep domain knowledge in a custom product which no LLM has much of a handle on. I’d hate to be a specialist in anything industry standard about now.
