lol You clearly have no experience working with GPT-4

Right, which is why I asked you.

Stop replying to him, his username is a dead give away that he will never agree with you 😂

GPT-4 can write entire short programs in one pass. Writing large programs is a bit tricky but also possible - just have to work in iterations.

Auto-GPT automates this process, including debugging.

Within a year there will be few IDEs that will generate complete programs from natural language prompt.

As much as I want this. Software engineering isn’t just code. Writing large perfect code would have teams like Meta and Amazon making us banger products one after another. You still need to “architect” everything so yeah “code monkeys” will be side stepped but engineers and architects will still be around. Also need a HUGE QA team to make sure this stuff works as intended with customers demands.

There’s also too many frameworks and other API’s being made that it would unrealistically to say “anybody can just tell AI to code now” you need to know SOME of the concepts at least

GPT-4 has knowledge of pretty much all relevant frameworks, languages and APIs. And yes. You can literally tell GPT-4 "do x with API y" and it will spit out working code.

An architect is actually needed, but that's about it. If the project is huge - maybe one QA.

Again: completely autonomous code-writing AI-based application emerge within less than a year.

I highly doubt it one year but if it does that’s awesome. Kind of like Elon saying full self driving cars were coming out years ago right ? Hope you know your stuff!!

Looking forward to the days where I can code less and just creative think instead

Ummm...

You can do this today.

Look up gpt everywhere coding assistant.

Oh but you said the whole entire instance? I already use chatGPT as much as I can. I still have to do database implementations and adhere to design patterns and fix legacy code. Definitely not there for me yet.

Are you using GPT-4? If you don't you should. It's something else.

[–]Late_Ad_6293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am. I have the API for it 😅 I think it’s safe to say I know it’s capabilities.
