    And this is what Im talking about when I discuss this.

    People are completely clueless now how entrenched they are, they hand wave it away despite the avg dev autocompleting easily half their code, totally unaware its AI generated.

      “generated” is not accurate. You need to learn how to use words before you get mad at people about them.

        It is 100% accurate, it sounds like you just are completely unaware of the fact the autocomplete on a bunch of popular IDEs for the past couple years is AI gen backed.

        It literally sends your code as tokens to their server and prompts an LLM to FITM generate code, then sends that back to your IDE which then prompts you with it as a tab complete.

        Its been like that for easily 2 years now.

        People have such a little clue about this, they are constantly shocked to find it out.

          By that definition search engines have been “ai” for decades. We would have never said “my search query was ai generated” because that would’ve been confusing, misleading, and simply inaccurate to the understanding virtually everyone would have of that phrase.

          What’s so fucking silly about this is you’d rather be technically accurate than care about the big picture. No, helping me type a variable name is in no way comparable to barfing out an entire function that does something complex.

          What exactly are you trying to prove? That everyone who isn’t arguing your same technicality is an idiot? “Ai generated your auto-complete, so samesies!!! What are y’all even worried about?!”

            It sorta sounds like you just have no clue how things work.

            Search Engines use whats called semantic search on a vector database to find string values that start with what you typed, for suggesting their autocomplete options as you type.

            Zero AI is involved in that process.

            You just sound completely naive to how any of this stuff works, have you ever built any kind if search autocomplete systems for a website? Its fairly well established how you do it, postgres straight up has a built in way to handle it smoothly.

            I think you are just speaking exceedingly out of your depth here.

            No, helping me type a variable name is in no way comparable to barfing out an entire function that does something complex.

            It literally is exactly the same thing, its the exact same api endpoint getting invoked, its sending your tokens, and its AI generating an autocomplete for you to suggest what you type next.

            Its the literal exact same backend, its just generating the suggestions in smaller bite sized chunks.

            You’ve now repeatedly outed yourself as not having a single clue how stuff works. You are either a very junior dev still, or just straight up a hobbyist amateur.

            Either way, you are speaking deeply out of depth on where your knowledge is. You are making a fool of yourself and you are digging the hole deeper and deeper with every post.

            Just take the L dawg and bow out, you dont know what you are talking about.

              Yeah, this was pretty clearly a “I’m smarter than everyone else” thing from the start but now you’ve plastered it on a billboard. I won’t be interacting with you again. Good luck finding someone “smart” enough to talk to.

              PS “It literally is exactly the same thing” kinda tells everyone you aren’t as smart as you think you are… “It uses the same API endpoint!” somehow means “I was typing and something helped me === I asked a robot to do my entire job for me”… lol
