The AI Investment Boom

> AI products are used ubiquitously to generate code, text, and images, analyze data, automate tasks, enhance online platforms, and much, much, much more—with usage expected only to increase going forward.

Why does every hype article start with this. Personally my copilot usage has gone down while coding. I tried and tried but it always gets lost and starts spitting out subtle bugs that takes me more time to debug than if i had written it myself.

I always have this feeling of 'this might fail in production in unknown ways' because i might have missed checking the code throughly . I know i am not the only one, my coworkers and friends have expressed similar feelings.

I even tried the new 'chain of thought' model, which for some reason seems to be even worse.

Well I have the exact opposite experience. I don't know why people struggle to get good results with llms.

I just asked Claude to generate some code using the SAP SuccessFactors API.

Every single example was completely useless. The code wouldn't compile, it would invent methods and variables and the instructions to go along with it were incoherent. All whilst gaslighting along with the way.

I have also previously tried using it with some Golang code and it would constantly add weird statements e.g. locking on non-concurrent operations.

LLMs are great when you are doing the same things as everyone else. Step outside of that and it's far more trouble than it's worth.

for obscure API or SDK, upload docs and/or examples to Claude projects.
