The fake dentist and two so-called assistants, all family members, pleaded guilty to a “number of charges.”

    Of all the jobs you could try to fake, why choose dentist?

    It needs costly equipment, vast medical knowledge and high precision with you hand. At the same time, it is very high risk, if you mess up something.

    He should’ve asked ChatGPT instead. That’s how “modern developers” seem to get by

      I’m not a developer, I do not work in a technology field, but I used to. I know Linux sysadmin, security, and a very small amount of python.

      ChatGPT has allowed me to “write” code that I use everyday in my business. So, I’m not a developer, but it lets me do things I otherwise would not be able to.

      My business is still too small to even consider hiring a developer, so it’s allowing me to grow my business.

      I’m just writing this to point out that “devs” are not the only people using chatgpt to write code.

        Chatgpt and other LLMs are fantastic technical task assistants but, and this is a big but, you need to treat their work the same way you’d treat work from a new intern. Verify the output before you trust it.

          It’s just making some front end stuff for other people to use to access PDFs on my server that need some level of protection and access control.

          So, it’s been pretty easy to verify.

          I’m too paranoid about trusting it or even myself to write code that could have irreversible effects.

          Thanks for the advice🙏

      Could just go full Luddite and pull his tooth by tying string to it like developers who refuse to use AI.

        So google how to do a root canal is cool with you?

        Go sit in his chair. Moron

        It’s not a panacea like they’re saying it is. This is going to kill the software developer space.

          No.

          This is going to kill the software developer space.

          Not even close.

    Hi everybody!

    Hi Dr Nick!

    Ok, ok, everybody settle down. Just gotta do a quick root canal! The most painful proceedure in all of dentistry if done wrong. But first, let me do a quick google search on how to do it! I’m sure the fact that google is so heavily reliant on AI descriptions right now won’t make this situation any worse! What could possibly go wrong???

    cut to outside the dentist surgury room door to the sounds of drills, tortured screaming, and the lights flickering
