For software engineers near and wide (WoW developers included), I thought the following article was fascinating.
Search for: A software engineer taught AI to hunt bugs by interfacing an LLM with debugging tools and has released the open source code: ‘It’s like going from hunting with a stone spear to using a guided missile’
The article’s internal link, blog post, shows the tool at work. Fascinating stuff!
It should be noted that more and more of these types of assistant tools are either available or in development.
In the article it says “But of course this comes with the same standard warning all AI should. It doesn’t actually think, and its answers should always be taken with some scepticism involved.”
Of course this applies to all people some of the time and some people all of the time so it’s not clear that the sentence means very much.
AI literally cannot think, i.e. reason, it’s a very sophisticated statistics machine. What it gives you is the most likely outcome based on its massive training data set.
And how is what people do all that different? Can you give us an example of a problem where people think in a way that a computer running an AI application can’t?
I read that it’s going to hit the tech sector hard. I think it’s going to be like micromanaging Ai to do a bunch of tasks in the future. I think, not sure completely, but the new doom game has some aspects that were helped out with Ai, including some art. A random source on the latter, but I could see it already being utilized.
So I think people are mistaken about how this is going to be used because of the use of the word “AI”.
It is a tool for developers/QA to find bugs easier/faster, not a replacement for developers/QA all together. It still requires humans to use, because it is a tool, not a replacement.
Most AI is actually a tool and not a replacement for humans, which is why it is laughable when people try to claim it will replace humans all together. If someone tried to replace QA/devs with this tool, it would be a terrible outcome in terms of quality. Just like when people try to replace artists with AI, and quality suffers.
Yeah, soon AI would take over the addons and the game. Look at One Button Rotation Assist and Weak Aura Rotation Helper, and Follower Dungeon. Soon, the player just logs in and let the AI play their toons. The future of gaming would be very boring.
The answer depends on the 8 year old’s location. An 8 year old from let’s say Alabama would probably tell you 4 R’s because strawrberry. While a more northern 8 year old would probably say 3.
