Meta AI app has launched "Vibes," a new feed of AI-generated videos similar to TikTok. Users can create or remix clips, although early reception has been mostly negative, with users questioning why this feature exists at all
It works well for small programs and boilerplate. But you need to know what you are doing to guide it. They can very often get stuck in some rabbithole
I concur, it has gotten me in multiple wild goose chases when debugging. It is extremely confident especially when it’s wrong
It’s pretty good at fleshing out documentation. and if you’re naming variables properly it’s pretty good at gleaning what you’re trying to do and autocomplete on a small scale.

This reminded me of a recent study I saw posted about the accuracy of AI and trying to remove hallucinations. One of the conclusions of which being, besides that it’s impossible to stop them from hallucinating, that the tests companies use to grade the quality of an AI and the expectations of users grade confidence in an answer higher than the accuracy of the answer.
I’ll be honest, it’s probably wasted more time than it’s saved me. I only trust it to format files and find where things might be used in the code base. So, you know, plain-language pretty print and grep.
A few developers I know are very impressed by Claude.

I, too, can copy and paste from StackOverflow.
Yes, but you’ll know if you’re copying from the answer, or the question.
Even if that were literally what it did, having a StackOverflow button would be pretty cool
