I’m not part of this community and came here from the front page, but I gotta say - I do sometimes feel unreal working with codex. It solves issues in such a short time that I would not know where even to start. Then again, I’m not doing it for profit or to create stuff, but simply to solve issues and advance some DIY projects.
Last night, before going to sleep, I got tired of trying to find and fix an issue in BeamNG with a large (1GB) mod where a car constantly failed to spawn for career. I asked it to try and fix it, took only 2 minutes, I thought to myself “bullshit”. Tested it and the fix worked.



Trial and error. So far, the only issues I’ve encountered are small oversights, not critical errors.
I did try working with codex (I think I used ChatGPT back then?) some 16 months ago, and half of the things I wanted to do ended up in a mess. Astra is the first one that seems to be actually somewhat usable (edit: but it’s also like 10-20x more expensive, I run into limits under 20€ subscription quite fast)
On related note - It makes me uncomfortable to admit this, but the progress blows my mind away and it makes me uncomfortable, by now I truly believe it’s there to stay and will make so many jobs obsolete. I was part of the AI hating club 1 month ago, and cognitive dissonance is real
