Fair enough :) I’m a software engineer and disagree about what I am presuming you’re saying is our obsolescence? I have only been employed as a software engineer for a year and a half so you’re more likely to be right than me! I’m really looking forward to what the future brings but I see our jobs evolving and not dissolving

Completely agree about the nuance element. I’m pretty sure that if you spent the time to explicitly state all the nuances and dependencies of a given task before asking how to do it, you’d get somewhat of a relevant response. I don’t know. If you have complex work then it requires complex prompting and I’d rather just do it myself!

I don’t need a taxi driver, I’m just happy with someone to help me navigate now and again

Yeah it’s good for when there is something on the internet that solves your answer, but it’s like a needle in a haystack to find. You don’t have to concern yourself with phrasing it just right and scouring stack overflow. I think the power is not just in its webscraping abilities, but for it to estimate what you mean by your question to a ridiculous degree of certainty. It’s very rare that it misunderstands my question even when I am 99% sure I sound confusing

It’s kind of like Blockbuster. They had it on lockdown but was unable to innovate and then got left behind. From what I hear, Google have tons of good ideas but don’t commit to the stuff that matters. I’m interested to see if the ‘too big to fail’ idea applies.
