I can’t wait for it to die off. My editor decided to spontaneously fucking change my SQL query for me the other day. It made up utter nonsense, completely unprompted. Fucking hate all this garbage.
I’m not sure what SQL query is, but I tried to use quickbooks help chat thing and it was changing my words as I typed and churning out gibberish. I thought I was having a stroke. I ended up having to type in a notepad and copy it into the chat. Fucking ridiculous.
A SQL (sequel) query is a way to ask a database for information. A database consists of tables (think sheets in excel) where each table has rows and columns. Rows are individual entries, and columns are properties on each entry. So you could have a “booking” entry with say, a “date” and a “customer.”
Excel and databases can be presented (and in many ways function) in very similar ways, as a developer the amount of times I’ve written software to shift work away from an Excel document into something more approachable and generalised… honestly it’s like most of what I do. Last year I developed an entire scheduling and follow-up application that was previously one person organising a bunch of people via an excel document. It was a fun project, the person was really fun to work with and super engaged with things.
Anyway, a query is almost plain English.
SELECT Customer, Date FROM Booking
WHERE Date BETWEEN '2025-11-15' AND '2025-11-30'
ORDER BY Date ASC
This is just an example, what I did was a little bit more complicated, but not by a lot. The LLM just decided to randomly change the verbs and add in random columns that didn’t exist. Completely unprompted, almost like autocorrect gone haywire.
Between the environment being a slow mess, and the LLM screwing me over, what would’ve normally taken ~5-10 minutes took over an hour. I don’t see how it’s supposed to improve productivity.
Next step will be the ads targeting the teacher instead of the student. Need to offer them good deals on their school supplies, if they have to buy that themselves. Also, can’t support them directly. AI wants to replace them anyway. Money machine needs to go Brrrrrrr…
Can’t wait for people turning in homework with ads between the lines. 😂
