1984 ... I guess that qualifies me as "older" generation I love the hell out of chatGPT. I have found some stuff like writing recipes for for chef it defaults to just making shit up ... but in python and golang its pretty solid.
It is also very good at looking at a function or a block of code and writing an explanation of what it does.
Its pretty good at abstracting code, and writing unit tests
I have noticed that it struggles a bit w/ powershell ... but then again most windows stuff is a bag of d!cks anyway
@CaffeineAddiction You'd think there's recipes available online to train it. I wonder if it's a side effect of having software developers be in charge of training
OTOH, I have heard that people who submit recipes for publication often are just making everything up also, so maybe the training isn't so good
I got a recipe from it to cook one of those days and turned out terrible. my wife look the recipe and said "yeah, it would never be good anyway..."
and that's the problem I see on it: those who know the field can adapt and fix its errors, those who aren't will blindly trust it with disastrous results
one of those days I saw a guy on reddit saying that with chatgpt, all security issues would be solved, because chatgpt would show you the issues and you would fix those without having to have deep knowledge on security
and I said that if you know the field, its insights are welcome, but are just insights. you need your expertise to really change the overall security. and if you don't know enough to see when chatgpt made a mistake, you would make mistakes
like when people try to implement crypto using stackoverflow code. it works, but if you don't have knowledge, any attacker will laugh so hard he will fall from the chair...
like cooking... I can follow a recipe, but the results are not that good. my wife follows the same recipe and it turns out very good. same information, different experience, wildly different results
I am afraid people will become lazy and don't learn deeply anymore because "chaptgpt can do it for me"
and that's an opportunity to those who are devoted to learn
"Windows Defender have a notification for you: it found no threats..." come on Defender, notify me only when you DO find something...
