Since my brief experience started with a c compiler error question entered into google search, I also assumed I was interfacing with their Gemini product but maybe google search uses something else (or a trimmed-down versoin)? I am not certain, just assumed Gemini. I was also impressed (at first) that it seemed to know some of the things about the project without me telling it that it was "BBS related." ;) I was later less impressed when it seemed to forget things it originally seemed to know without me telling it. :D > For coding, I think AI has come a long way, and where it I have found it > useful, is not only has it provided working code, it provides a breakdown of > what element does and why it works, pros/cons and considerations. > I can see it taking away the bulk of the work when programming. Yeah I saw some examples of this also.
