As a programmer, I use #LLM-based autocomplete daily.
My career spans almost 30 years now, and there is a issue in #programming which is usually referred to as #copypasta. It is a combination term from A) #spaghetti code which means the code has bad organisation and lacks structural rules B) mindlessly copying something.
Enough ”doing the same thing over and over again” can slowly turn even the best codebase into a badly organised mess, as the code no longer reflects the big picture.
#machinelearning that I use is simply perfect for creating copypasta. This can probably boost efficiency for a some junior-level tasks, but relying on it too much can also risk deteriorating the quality of your codebase.
Extrapolating from this to what our society is going to face as ML tools augment our communication, I feel we might need to be prepared for a lot more copypasta that does the job, but #tangles with itself in ways that make it harder to see what is actually happening.
