If the thing you want it to do isn’t too unusual, LLMs can guide you into doing something vaguely sensible.
This is the one area of AI I’m actually pretty positive about. Computing largely passed people by, and computers have not lived up to their potential. I could see this approach making computers more useful for a large number of people.
Especially semi-technical people who’s specialty isn’t programming.
Even with GPT4 the most useful usecase are to generate stuff that are so repetative and daunting to type and refactor code that interns wrote.
And making it write documentations.
What i love most is to draft out project specs from user's requirements and to generate user stories.
Or let it write leet-code like problems that is too boring to do manually.
The actual layer of coding is still best done by experienced engineer's biological brains.
