Personal Question - about AI

Hi Friend and sorry for missing your question. Let me try to answer as by now no other colleagues yet decided to participate :)

It's a bit vague what you look for "how to implement AI" sounds like learn how to create all these neural networks, random forests etc (actually AI has no clear definition).

But then you more talk about what seems to be called now "vibe coding" - generating programs with use of AI, or more specific LLM (chat-gpt, deep-seek etc).

Don't think I'm convervatist or just a peevish old man, or something like this :) but I advice you not to put much attention this way. Feel free to use LLMs to help you (e.g. asking questions which you may normally ask google) - but idea that you can create great things using them is somewhat misleading.

They work comparatively well on "student level", e.g. "create me simple chat bot" or "solve the problem ... from CodeAbbey in such a language".

However they are not that good at professional level. As you may suspect, I normally work as a developer (mostly backend) full time, and my company pays me good money (particularly my position is senior go developer). But you don't think I'm sitting and writing basic chat-bots for them :)

Developer's work is like looking into the project with 4000+ files written by 20+ people over several years, sometimes hasty, sometimes crazy - and trying to figure out why something is not working as we want. Sometimes the whole day's work is just to figure out that in some place three lines should be moved higher, or even sign >= should be changed to >.

Surely I do write parts of code also. Though even more (and i like it) I remove kilotons of weird code and replace it with something simpler.

And here are two problems - firstly LLM won't do it for you in most cases - and also you can't rely on it. It would be good if you learn a bit around and figure out how it generates result and why it is limited - to better understand why it is important to build skills of your own.

That's why we are still paid good wages and there seem to be no prospect of all programmers being fired soon :) Learning to generate simple programs is not very good idea as no one will pay you for simple programs :) Though definitely LLMs may look impressive.
