Amazing. This is the Internet moment of AI.

The Internet took something that used to be slow, cumbersome, expensive and made it fast, efficient, cheap.

Now we are doing it again.

I am a big proponent of AI. To me, this experiment mostly shows how not to use AI.

    Have you tried the thought experiment though?

    I agree this way seems "wrong", but try putting on your engineering hat and ask what would you change to make it right?

    I think that is a very interesting thread to tug on.

      Not grandfather, but this is "wrong" because it's like asking a junior coder to store/read some values in the database manually (each time writing an SQL query) and then writing HTML to output those values. Each time the junior coder has to do some thinking and looking up. And the AI is doing a similar thing (using the word "thinking" loosely here).

      If the coder is smart, she'll write down the query and note where to put the values, she'll have a checklist of how to load the UI for the database, paste the query, hit run, and copy/paste the output to her HTML. She'll use a standard HTML template. Later she could glue these steps up with some code so that a program takes those values, put them in the SQL query, and then put them in the HTML and send that HTML to the browser... Oh look, she's made a program, a tool! And if she gets an assignment to read/write some values, she can do it in 1 minute instead of 5. Wow, custom made programs save time, who could've guessed?

      Running inference for every interaction seems a bit wasteful IMO, especially with a chance for things to go wrong. I’m not smart enough to come up with a way on how to optimize a repetitive operation though.
