Should we have a secton for AI?

So does a tirade of swear words IME!

So does the word representative at least in the US

I went through a stage of swearing at the llm

I don't actually swear 'at' the phone - just calmly speak expletives that it can't parse as answers to its inane questions so that it connects me to a human operator.

(I guess you're talking about ChatGPT and the like, rather than the far less sophisticated phonebot bollox you get instead of an old-fashioned operator.)

I went through a stage of swearing at the llm .. and I've got an excellent working man's vocabulary!

But here's the thing, it always comes back apologetic and nice and cuddly if you like!

This niceness has sort of rubbed on off on me, now I might raise my voice at it so to speak but I don't go in for much swearing!

And if I do swear a bit, I usually apologize afterwards, and I can't understand why!

I'm always super nice to chat GPT because I have this fear that if I'm not it will start giving me crappy answers. Now THAT'S being phobic, an irrational fear LOL

Given that sometimes getting a decent answer out of Chattie is like pulling hen's teeth, how could you be sure you WEREN'T getting crappy answers anyway? Uncle G has published some lengthy dialogs where he has to go back and criticize the answer four or five times.

I know of some pople like that. They are called politicians.

I can't be sure, but since I often ask it things I already know a lot about, I can evaluate what mood it's in ... some days.

Yes, I've also published my first ever try at ChatGPT - where I asked it what is wrong with this code? 6 lines of VBA code, where I declared a variable as INT and then looped, incrementing it once each loop, with the loop running far more times than the INT range. It had no idea what was wrong with the code, I would have expected any beginner to spot it.

I personally don't use it for coding, or haven't yet - and when I do, I'm going to be awfully careful, researching out each piece of its answer myself to verify it makes sense. "never use code you don't personally understand" is my motto, anyway.

I don't think the free version of ChatGPT is going to be the go to for IT admins for coding. I think it will be a paid version of Copilot or a similar product embedded within something like Visual Studio Code, just a guess.

with exceptions in cases where a company was too [something] to turn it on - i.e. in Visual Studio at my job, even though I'm on the "Developers" team and even though my company is a SaaS company it seems we don't have it turned on by default and it asks me to sign in, which I don't think I'm allowed to do, because then it would interrupt my company Microsoft sign-in that's already active - I'm not totally sure of this, but it's the uncertainty that would make it say oh screw it - and turn to chatgpt instead, as it can be used with no sign in.

Do you use visual studio to write code or something else?

I use visual studio on the occasionally, a couple times for a console app but more for ssis. Usually SQL server management studio
