A friend recently spent AGES with ChatGPT getting it to sort his wedding invitations A-Z. It just couldn’t do it.
Told him to ask it to write code to do it,
Hours to minutes. Totally solved his problem.
We techies are failing the masses by not shouting about the difference between probabilistic and deterministic uses of AI.
ChatGPT can use code if you tell it to, but you need to both know that's possible and have at least a rough idea of what kind of things code solutions can handle.
Ask for code when you need to know the outcome; roll the dice with an LLM when you need to deal with the messy real world.. not everything needs AI.
But, if we can give our own generation that realization, that’s a win.
