I didn’t see a thread for this anywhere else. I’m not sure where it’d fit - if one does exist please move elsewhere.
I don’t know a god damn thing about programming. I’ve never done it, literally short of when they had us do a simple BASIC hello world thing in school in the mid 80s.
I kept hearing about AI programming. Recently, just for my own benefit I had some ideas to streamline some work I do. I won’t even bore you with the details of what it does, it’s relevant to one particular line of work, but it was fairly complex in scope.
So I’ve got Grok for free through X. So I’m like okay, lemme start talking to it about what I want to do.
It guides you through every possible thing you need to do. I’ve spent probably 10-15 hours on this project with Grok - something will be fucked up - I’ll say fix it - it spits back out new code - I run it - see what works and what doesn’t work. I ask it to make something work differently - it makes it work the way I want it.
This is all in Python. Grok isn’t perfect but it seems to have a great grasp of figuring out shit after a while.
It’s an iterative project that required some time but I’m honestly blown away I could create what I created without paying someone to do it. This thing is automating a task I never would have thought possible.
At any rate I know there’s a lot of real programmers here who could offer some insight or ideas into using these tools better. If this is what exists now, I can’t wait to see how complex AI programming will be in a year, 2 years, whatever.
The prospect of taking any idea from your head and having a computer make it for you is pretty cool.
