Artificial Intelligence (AI)

My alarm bells always go off when I hear someone say "you don't need to know how to code now, you can build entire apps with LLMs."

In theory yes, an LLM can generate an app if you prompt it right. But it's way more effective at prototyping interfaces, writing helper functions / sdks, making code simpler, modifying slightly, etc. *Not* one shotting an entire app on its own.

I have not had a single instance where ChatGPT has written an entire app for me that I didn't need to write a ton of custom code to modify afterwards.

What am I missing? Is it all just marketing delusion when ppl say that?

Ditto. I additionally get a bit depressed when this statement is thrown around frequently - probably because it makes me feel like what I'm working on currently will be obsolete in the near future making it seem pointless to continue coding.🌳
