300: The Battle of Thermopylae or Generative AI vs Developers
summary
A timed Slido coding challenge pits an HR non‑coder using ChatGPT against experienced developers; the non‑coder finishes a working solution in about 16 seconds, outperforming the room. The talk traces concrete strengths (speed and scale, Kasparov vs Deep Blue), failures (the Google Bard wrong demo cost ~$100M), and safety holes like the “granny” prompt bypass. Also describes a live setup for a PAD wallet payment solution and emphasizes GIGO, ethics checks, and human skills (meaning, creativity, critical questioning).
