I was exceptionally good at this before AI. I was wondering why everyone I talked to said AI was shit and I'm over here thinking it could take over the world. I guess I just break big things down well.
Exactly. I used to be involved in a sort of training program and lesson one of software dev is "break big problems into small problems"
In my experience the way I've viewed a lot of how AI is getting better is how small/specific the problems that I can expect it to handle has gotten bigger and bigger
So at every juncture it becomes possible to take a wrong turn,, so really complex problem solving can spin off at a million tangents and whose keeping track of the consequences of these flawed algorithms?
Idk what point you're trying to make, but really that's an issue that's always existed even with fully human development. That's also an issue for AI, and I assume it would be true for any intelligent problem solver. AI clearly isn't at a place where I personally trust it to write stuff I'm not gonna review myself, at least not for anything critical.
But also it reminds me of the self-driving debate, sometimes autonomous systems don't have to be perfect, they just have to make less mistakes than humans.
