Humans are not smart enough to understand half the code this shit writes
Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 6th, 2026 5:40 PM Author: robot daddy I notice this all the time. GPT 5.4 writes something and I'm like wow no human could ever understand this function lol. But what's funny is noone is willing to admit it because they are afraid to look dumb.
The math it does is even worse. It's not wrong but it makes arguments no human would make. Like when it does real analysis it does a weird blend of philosophical language and physics-like metaphors and math that are barely human readable.
I'm also retarded but it doesn't matter, I have read enough of what humans do to know what they are plausibly capable of |

Date: March 6th, 2026 5:45 PM Author: robot daddy yeah I get that thats possible but its still funny that it generates stuff that has either such overly complex structures, or like I mean -- its generating stuff you would need to have a working memory thats like 40x more than what a human could have to be able to actually parse it. No one would do it like that ever. Most of the ways humans do shit is due to cognitive bottlenecks and its obvious. And it seems noone wants to admit they can't read it (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5842475&forum_id=2\u0026show=posted#49722057) |

Date: March 6th, 2026 5:50 PM Author: ,.,..,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,.,,..,..,.,,..,.,,. it makes sense once we remember that 'code' is just a semi-natural-language framework for the generation of actual machine code and switching instructions. there's no reason that human-generated coding abstractions would be anywhere near the effectiveness or efficiency of what could actually be achieved using the system.

Date: March 6th, 2026 5:56 PM Author: robot daddy Yeah but think of the fact it can write in like 50 different natural languages, who knows how many computer languages, can write across every field of math and logic and physics, and also can reconstruct entire histories and cultures and who knows what the fuck else. Pretty insane.
But also I agree with you and it is a pretty good reminder that "hard for humans" is not the same thing as "universally hard". We think PDEs are difficult because it takes a lot of training and effort for a human to learn them and derive them, but for a machine its nothing, and maybe to another organism it would be nothing too. |

Date: March 6th, 2026 8:14 PM Author: Taylor Swift is not a hobby she is a lifestyle (πΊπΈ π΅π±) PDEs aren't "nothing" for computers. There's a lot of stuff computers are simply incapable of solving, but they can do numerical approximations really quickly and those computations converge on the general solution.

Date: March 6th, 2026 6:10 PM Author: Lab Diamond Dallas Trump except the generated code often isn't as effective and efficient
i don't code, but from reading the assessments of people who do, it can sometimes take 3x - 10x the lines for the same function as what a skilled human would program. and it often has more overhead. |

Date: March 6th, 2026 7:24 PM Author: cowgod Number of lines of code has like no correlation with how much of a memory hogging code something is.

Date: March 6th, 2026 7:37 PM Author: Lab Diamond Dallas Trump when did I say it did, champ? they are two different issues that I separated by a period, champ. longer code may or may not take up more resources than shorter code, but the AI generated code is often supposedly longer AND less resource efficient. Do you see how this works, champ, or do I need to draw you a venn diagram and logic flowchart? Your move, champ.

Date: March 6th, 2026 8:16 PM Author: Taylor Swift is not a hobby she is a lifestyle (πΊπΈ π΅π±) that's because the generated code is doing more, i.e., stuff the human code doesn't do and arguably should. My code is like 5x longer when I use codex, but it also contains a lot more unit testing and other stuff that's important (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5842475&forum_id=2\u0026show=posted#49722316) |

Date: March 6th, 2026 7:28 PM Author: robot daddy All of the people who say that shit are also massively insecure about the fact that the only thing that gave them confidence and identity is now performed 40-50x better than a machine.

Date: March 6th, 2026 7:34 PM Author: Lab Diamond Dallas Trump so is it true that a skilled human can often perform a task with a fraction of the lines of code needed by the AI or not?
The same goes for skilled and unskilled humans as well. The noob will come out with a convoluted and drawn-out solution to solve a problem that the skilled coder knocks out much more elegantly. |
|
Date: March 6th, 2026 7:41 PM Author: robot daddy It's true but not because the human is more capable overall. Humans compress by relying on unstated underlying rules, like they intuit which parts of the problem can be ignored, which assumptions are safe, which edge cases don't matter etc. And they often have more lived and tacit environmental knowledge the AI doesn't have access to. There is a diff between "giving the model enough context" and having lived with various parts of the codebase every day for months or years. But line count is a horrible proxy for ability for one. And on raw generation ability, speed, breadth, recall of apis and idioms, logical reasoning and many other measures humans cannot come anywhere close to competing with AI (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5842475&forum_id=2\u0026show=posted#49722276) |

Date: March 6th, 2026 8:11 PM Author: Lab Diamond Dallas Trump all of that extra shit the AI added is stuff that needs to be debugged, needs to be reviewed and fixed and taken into account whenever the code is updated or expanded, etc. you act like the bloat isn't a problem.
Then the other excuses being made for the AI -- the original assertion was that human code would be nowhere near the effectiveness or efficiency of AI code. But listing out a bunch of reasons the AI is handicapped in competing with a human doesn't make its code more effective or efficient. Can the AI pump out code FASTER? Sure. But I am not seeing any indication that its code is BETTER than the best human coders. |

Date: March 6th, 2026 8:23 PM Author: Taylor Swift is not a hobby she is a lifestyle (πΊπΈ π΅π±) You don't get it. CoT+RAG enables debugging to be included in the generation loop, i.e., the debugging output is fed back into the model and used to fix the errors. This all happens in seconds, and this feedback loop is what enables continuous integration far faster than any human could achieve.

|
Date: March 6th, 2026 5:49 PM Author: robot daddy Yeah but also to me it's more impressive that its not coding. The fact that it is just probabilistically (but with still strong enough constraints) reconstructing how the code should look from some lossy statistical affordance of "weights" left over from training it has no access to, and the same system can also reconstruct pretty much anything else, and then it still writes code that runs is basically a miracle (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5842475&forum_id=2\u0026show=posted#49722067) |

Date: March 6th, 2026 8:26 PM Author: Taylor Swift is not a hobby she is a lifestyle (πΊπΈ π΅π±) I think most people discounted the fact that LLMs would be used to improve themselves. That's why they're so damn good at coding -- they literally wrote it to code itself. We've either already reached or are about to reach escape velocity where the improvements will either continue until it's AGI or the model will eventually collapse and we'll reach some maximum that will never get better until we get quantum computing or something.
