Valve is one of many developers using generative AI behind the scenes.
You're viewing a single thread.
Dunn acknowledges that he could have found the same answer with the right Google search terms, but says that the point is that he didn't have to: ChatGPT immediately returned what he was looking for even though he described it vaguely.
I remember when google used to return the right results even when the search was vague.
Its so stupid, google "bipartie matching algorithm" and the second result is a stack overflow where the second answer is the Hungarian algorithm....
So every programmer would have found that immediately using the traditional methodology....
Yup, AI is frequently a worse way to do something we used to do, but with a crappy pretend to be a person responding veneer.
That's not what I got. In fact, stack overflow isn't in any of my results. I got a lot of scholarly articles for various algorithms and none of them mention the Hungarian algorithm.
Weird, google might know I only click on stackoverflow links lol

Same lol. Its incredible how shit it’s been made.
Right? I was thinking that exactly. I remember being in awe by how well google could do that, and now I actually dread having to use it and sift through all the crap.
I guess the same will happen to "AI" once they try to monetize it with ads.
