OpenAI has been talking about AGI for years, implying that they are getting closer to it with their products.

Not to even mention all the hype created by the techbros around it.

The amount of garbage it spits out in autocomplete is distracting. If it’s constantly making me 5-10% less productive the many times it’s wrong, it should save me a lot of time when it is right, and generally, I haven’t found it able to do that.

Yesterday I tried to prompt it to change around 20 call sites for a function where I had changed the signature. Easy, boring and repetitive, something that a junior could easily do. And all the models were absolutely clueless about it (using copilot)
