Googling? That's so passe.

I just enter my vague question into this AI chat thingy and I try the first thing that it tells me on my production server.

Has worked fine for me so far. What could possibly go wrong?

You can ask this AI chat thingy if it's a good idea to experiment on your production server. Maybe it will suggest something else.

"I'll copy paste this snippet from a 2013 StackOverflow thread instead."

"Let me just install this 2MB js dependency real quick. I don't know anything about its author nor if its maintained at all, but it will prevent me from writing 10 lines of vainilla js."

ChatGPT is a vast improvement from this.

Wow that's old school.

Here we have an agent integrated into langchain that executes the command directly on the server. If there are any errors it uses ai to debug and fix them too.

!/s see https://python.langchain.com/en/latest/modules/agents/toolki...

Agent, shmagent.

CREATE EXTENSION pggpt;

and you're done. The AI watches your db and adjusts the params on the fly as needed. We're joking, but I give it less than 12 months before there'll be something like this.
