  • I realise on the fediverse this is maybe asking for a flaming, but yesterday out of sheer curiosity I tried Claude for a simpleish coding task that I'd been putting off (largely inspired by @hausfath 's latest on #theclimatebrink).

    @Ruth_Mottram @hausfath This seems like a *really* bad idea. I'm a software engineer and not a scientist, but I believe I've heard there's already a fairly big problem in the sciences with software bugs producing misleading results. I imagine using AI to write code could make this much worse. IMO, the extra time that would've been spent coding everything would not have been wasted. Coding it yourself gives you more time to think about what you're typing and gain a more complete understanding of your code and the libraries you're using; giving you more time and insight to spot bugs or otherwise wrong or less than optimal ways of doing things. If one did a thorough review of the AI generated code to ensure it was correct, I'd guess it take at least the same amount of time. Furthermore, seeing the AI generated code first would create "anchoring bias," possibly still resulting in code with more bugs.
