Another guy with an MBA:It needs to have AI too!!! You know, like ChaTGPT. So it can reason about the world!!

Engineer: You know ChatGPT can’t “reason” right?

MBA Guy: But I can tell it to autogenerate code!

Engineer: It’s just finding code snippets like you could find with a search engine.

MBA: But they said it was sentient! AI!! LLMS!! SYNERGY!!

Engineer:…Nevermind. Yes, we’ll build a submarine that can fly and add a chat box so you can ask it what it is thinking.

Engineer quits next day

I’m half joking, but it pains me as an engineer to admit how close to reality this can be.

I’m shocked, I thought it was sentient!

Hi there! First off–this looks awesome! Thanks for making it! Do you need any help with anything? I’m not a slouch at Rust and would love to see a desktop client for Lemmy that everyone can use! Is there anything you need help with testing? Dev? Docs?

Gee I wonder why… ;)
