There's a difference between what I read about LLMs and generative AI in general, and what I experience when building things on top of the LLM API with the help of an LLM itself.

Also, over the past few weeks, I've realized that even if the development of language models stopped today, programming has already changed for me.

I wrote a few words about this, so if you work with LLMs in any way, this perspective might be interesting for you.

Exactly! This is what I wrote in this article.

Using LLMs to support code writing gives more space to deal with everything else, and that's the point.

> Mostly I'm using ChatGPT. There is just no way it could generate 90% of my code (...) Is anyone else actually getting good results for code generation using LLMs?

Try to switch perspective from "write component ‘X’ and paste code without reading it" to "describe the problem, break it into smaller steps, generate code for each step, and iteratively work towards the final solution".

In the first case, LLMs can't do 90% of the work alone. In the latter case, it's different.

You could ask, "Okay, so that's still a lot of work generating code with LLMs," and you'd be right. But it's like having another programmer sitting next to you, helping tackle problems or time-consuming tasks, giving you more space to think about the actual problem.

So, “Up to 90% of my code is now generated by AI” doesn’t mean that only 10% of the entire software development process is left for humans. Writing code is just (obviously) one aspect of software development.

Everyone is talking about GPT-3 and ChatGPT, and it's easy to see why. I don't want to talk any more; I'd rather show you how to create a simple macro in Keyboard Maestro and Shortcuts to make GPT-3 available EVERYWHERE on your Mac!

The idea is simple: the clipboard is the prompt, and the macro makes a request and pastes the answer. You can use it in Gmail, Superhuman, your browser, code editor, or wherever you want. Just make sure you don't send any sensitive information, such as passwords, etc.

Have fun!
