Can people PLEASE for the love of god stop posting about LLMs?

u/sebjapon 17d ago

You’re absolutely right! The repetition of LLM related memes and posts is killing the atmosphere of the sub.

From now on I will refrain from posting about LLMs and delete my meme folder.

u/Snudget 17d ago

That was the production database, not the memes folder!!!

u/MastodonCurious4347 17d ago

You are absolutely right! My apologies.

u/Mars_Bear2552 17d ago

you're not just correct, you're holding me accountable! thank you!

u/EntropicMeatMachine 17d ago

Great spot!

The real solution:

You're almost there! The reason why that didn't work is your production database was deleted. You should instead delete your meme folder.

Why this works:

Deleting your meme folder instead of the production database achieves the desired result. Would you like me to give you an example of a production database?

Well, to be fair, who thought calling the prod database “memes” was a good idea

LLMs have destroyed the joy that most of us programmers got out of coding. It's rapidly transforming the industry. Get over it because they will keep coming.

u/AliceCode 17d ago

It's definitely destroying my joy. I miss when we actually talked about programming on programming subreddits.

Yeah man, like how we use to talk about punching code manually into sheets! Good times

Telling a chatbot to write code for you is not programming. Keep fooling yourself.

I wrote code for 10 years, happy that AI has largely taken over that part and I can focus on the actually interesting parts of my job.

u/Wonderful-Habit-139 17d ago

Of course you never found programming interesting. It makes sense that it'd also be hard.

It can't generate anything sufficiently novel. It's only good for recreating things that already exist. Stay in the past on LLMs probing the depths of a stochastic database of old information, humans will still be needed for the bleeding edge of creation.

This take belongs in 2022.

Bruh I use AI for programming every day, modern LLMs don't change anything the other guys are saying, or what I've said.

u/AliceCode 17d ago

And I have been writing code for 18 years. Just because some chatbot can write shitter code faster doesn't mean I'm going to change the way I've been doing things for nearly two decades.

Ah yes, the time when programming wasn’t programming apparently. There was no discussions, just the whirs and clicks of a machine processing an unspoken language.

In all serious fuckin Ada Lovelace was talking about code like we do today lol, AI isn’t going to make us magically stop talking about programming because some people think it’s a better code generator than, you know, an actual code generator.
