I decided to see if AI could help me with a rust programming issue. I started by looking at Github CoPilot, and that lead me to a few IDEs and after reviewing for rust support I went with JetBrains RustRover.

Well I sicked the A.I. on the problem with "fix with AI". And after 20 seconds or so it changed my code. It applied a naive solution I had already tried. I compiled and got the next error. I went to that error and selected "Fix with AI". Again another naive solution that didn't work. I did this about 5 or 6 times and it never got my code to compile.

I guess I was hoping for too much.

I've encountered this sort of thing even on JavaScript, for which the AI almost certainly has the most training data.

I find my workflow looks a lot like:

Code by hand...Ask LLM a question...Code by hand some more...Prompt for a small task...Code some more...Hit a bug...Ask LLM...Search the web...Fix bug by hand...Code more...

The AI assistants are part of the workflow, but their more like research assistants than anything else.

yeah, learning how to make it work for you.. what it+you can do, and crafting... i can already tell, this is not fakenews VR type singularity this real singularity

I'm not convinced it's singularity, but it's going to be more impactful than VR, at least in some fields.

I think it's billed as a cure-all, sometimes, when it's not.
