Four months ago I asked if and how people used AI here in this community (https://lemmy.world/post/37760851).
Many people said that didn’t use it, or used only for consulting a few times.
But in those 4 months AIs evolved a lot, so I wonder, is there people who still don’t use AI daily for programming?
I decided to try Qwen 3.5 Plus via Qwen Code CLI (Gemini CLI fork) and it’s bizarre what it can do.
It can figure out when it’s struggling to something, look on the internet for questions and docs to understand things better. It takes a lot of actions by itself, not like that bad models from 4 months ago that gets stuck on endless thinking and tweaking and never fix anything.
Recent models are thinking each time more like human programmers.
I think you’re mistaking improvements in tooling as improvements in the LLMs. LLMs are plateauing. The idea of exponential growth is an illusion. We took 20+ year old technology, geared it toward text (the LLM), and trained it on the entire Internet. Then, it’s popularity grew exponentially.
This is the hype narrative that Altman, Dario, Jensen, etc. push. They are trying to convince everyone that what we have is Model T Ford of AI. Just imagine where we’ll be in 6 months!
