Elise ( @xilliah@beehaw.org ) English9•11 months agoHonestly I’ve always imagined them using a more natural interface just like when they speak to the computer. So when they run commands it’s essentially ai driven, and so is what they see on their screens. Why ever touch a piece of code when an ai can manage it for you and offers a natural interface with flexibility. It would simply be inefficient to do it any other way.
NightAuthor ( @NightAuthor@beehaw.org ) English2•11 months agoMakes sense, if you have an infallible ai. Bc it’s probably outputting machine code and that wouldn’t be so fun to debug.
