No.

You introduced the word into the thread. I quoted you.

Unless you're operating at some notational level above the literal, yes I think you did.

  • Sorry, I was referring the the prompt, not the code.

    • I was referring to the prompt/prose as well.

      The median-quality code just doesn't seem like a valuable asset en route to final product, but I guess it's a matter of process at that point.

      Generative AI, as I've managed to use it, brings me to a place in the software lifecycle that I don't want to be. Median-quality code that lacks the context or polish needed to be usable. Or in some cases even parseable.

      I may be missing essential details though. Smart people are getting more out of AI than I am. I'd love to see a Youtube/Twitch/etc video of someone who knows what they're doing demoing the build of a typical TODO app or similar, from paragraphs to product.
