I read that one, he literally described himself as mediocre programmer and is excited about gpt as a way for mediocre programmers to be competitive again. I'm sure he's in for a really fun time when he has to find a bug in 12k lines of AI spaghetti he bolted together.

Ahhh that certainly makes more sense. But now I'm kinda pissed at him for acting like some authority in the field up front to say "oh no ChatGPT is just so good" just to then admit that he's closer to the non-programmer side of the scale, but that may just be my residual rage from trying to stomach that article bleeding through.

I mean, maybe ChatGPT is better than him, specifically.

I'm excited for it for the same reasons.

I don't have skill in art or coding.

But AI platforms have let me produce things that work for my personal needs that would be beyond my abilities before starting the project.
