AI for writing documentation

no, the use case you're describing is for the slop companies to to de-skill you from being able to do those tasks. end of story. the "just a tool" narrative doesn't hold up once you start asking whose tool it is.
 
to further that point, we quote https://toot.cafe/@baldur/116351731802876844
Generative models and automated decision-making systems are political projects. They are tools for fencing off sectors of our society for rent, for cutting back on education and healthcare for the poor, for removing accountability. They are inherently tools for removing humans from the equation. They are not neutral in their design. Their existence has a political purpose

AI are tools. They can be used that way. Some AI programs have already been created and used for genocide.

We can use AI too as a collective against AI used for bad purposes. Some AI tools are already accessible to us. There's some in ports. I could use AI, but for most purposes setting up AI would be more effort than doing individual tasks. From my understanding where AI can be useful to me, AI is for repetitive tasks. There are also tasks more suitable for AI, like sorting away debris/impurities from food ingredients, and sorting out recyclable materials, like aluminum, from waste processing.

No matter what, some technology was going to be created. Andrew Yang used to say from others that, in the near future, technology will take the place of jobs, years before that X clown said it.
 
So is it irony that this discussion is being discussed in a thread where Ai was being employed for a task as mundane as writing down what someone's program does? There is validity in what atax1a is saying; if you've lost the abilty and/or desire to even write down a few sentences or paragraphs describing what you did then you've sort of already lost (-i.e. what's next?).

I like Theo's analogy of Ai being akin to indent(1) (although, he gives it a capital 'I').
 
fundamentally speaking they aren't at all like indent. indent works on a deterministic parser. the LLM is fundamentally a probabilistic algorithm. slop-purveyors try and handwave around this by claiming that being able to set a seed/temperature value is somehow deterministic, but, again, that claim doesn't hold up against reality because deterministic parsers do not have seeds and temperatures.
 
*pop* whoa, hey, please try and remember, I'm the one wearing this pointy hat thing.

Excuse me while I search a few terms (I like information like that!). However, I think I get the gist (and I think I get your point); this is to "frog in the pot" us.
