Topic: Using AI powered technology is still no substitute for an actual programmer.

Unless I am doing something wrong, the AI cannot comprehend errors in it's logic so the need for a human programmer remains necessary.

Although I have no clue about programming but isn't AI capabilities rapidly growing?

Someone on iritu said that the programs ChatGPT made for them worked 20-40% of the time.

Let's see if ChatGPT can do what I did yesterday, write a program for my learning Python course. It's a simple program to emulate a coffee machine. About 100 lines.

I gave it the program requirements, a list of features. The program works, which is kind of scary. The program is nearly identical to the solution given, which was written a few years ago.

@637,243 (Lanky Lorenzo !cbHHk9GdPo)
It can put the code in a separate window too.
