✨Top 10 ChatGPT Prompts That Will Make You a 10x Developer ✨
The world is inundated with articles about AI, and regurgitated articles like this. These write-ups and the content creators that push them are preying on an innate desire that human beings have to choose the path of least resistance. "Just give me the answer" is an attitude that a lot of people who grew up with the internet feel entitled to.
Like everything else, AI tech is a part of the tech cycle at large. Every couple years something comes around that is a 🔪killer🔪 of the way things were. Like back in the day when Dreamweaver was going to make it too easy for people to build websites, or like when Squarespace came out and was was going eliminate the need for developers.
The perceived threat of these technologies is fleeting, and is an effective tool when it comes to exposing those in our industry who are unwilling to adapt, and see these technologies for what they are, a tool to be used. Too many folks are ready to throw their hands up and say "WELLP THIS IS IT, THE END IS FINALLY HERE".
Those who thrive will leverage the tool to help them create something better, more impressive, more creative, and more unique as a supplement to their already unique set of skills.
How will you leverage these tools to do something better?

Well, I sure will not use them to flood dev.to with really bad listicles or bad tutorials. I wish the people who post a lot of these obviously AI-written things would at least read them through and edit them so that they made sense?
It does feel like the web is so flooded with bad Ai content right now, that this will actually hinder the development of LLMs further, since they cannot train on content they themselves have written. We're basically as a community ruining LLMs by making a circular feedback loop.
Chat bots seem to be quite nice to get information out of a collective consciousness, it is like the entirety of internet being able to provide the information you ask for in a neat format. But the underlying information is just as good, or bad, as what one might find with a google search and as such just as full of bias and misinformation.
I guess it is also quite useful for summarising information quickly? Whether we as humanity need to have a chatbot in every service and app remains questionable.
The risk of overuse is absolutely something worth being aware of, and your point about the feedback loop is very valid as well. The decline of unique content in the world will serve to make it difficult for LLMs to train and become better.
For the folks developing LLMs, finding and vetting content sources will become more important I'm sure. Potentially putting a higher value on that unique content.
The moral of this small post is essentially just to remind myself, and possibly others, that while there are certainly threats that exist, it's how we as developers user the tool to do our jobs better that matters.
