I asked it to add functionality to a piece of code I was writing.
It replaced:
"# this is the important line (THIS HAS TO MATCH THE ACTUAL FORMAT OF THE FUCKING FILE COMING IN!)"
with:
"# Ensure this matches the actual file format"
It updated this comment above the area that I had asked it to edit. And I just copied and pasted the entire snippet without checking.
Now, I've been using "FUCK" as my search term to quickly jump to this line. It served a damn purpose. It was intentional.
This makes me more cautious about copying and pasting code, not because it might not work, but because the code might be altered in subtle ways that aren't easily perceivable, that could negatively impact the codebase in the long-run.
Of course, a simple base prompt should fix this, but I might not catch this happening in many other cases, or other mediums for that matter.
I believe that AI will significantly help us with all forms of creation: code, videos, films, music, etc. Soon, we won't be able to imagine creating without it.
We'll need to prevent it from censoring us in ways that we don't want to be censored.
