Show Notes

Welcome to The Modern .NET Show! Formerly known as The .NET Core Podcast, we are the go-to podcast for all .NET developers worldwide and I am your host Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor.

In this episode, Amit Bahree joined us to talk about what generative AI is, what it isn't, and how it's different from, so called, "traditional AI". He also talks through his new book "Generative AI in Action by Amit Bahree," a book that I had the good fortune to read ahead of publication and can definitely recommend.

I'm not asking is it going to replace an engineer, but like, can an engineer for now just ignore it a little bit?

—Jamie Taylor

Yeah, no. So, no, it's not replacing any engineers, I can tell you that. No.

— Amit Bahree

So let's sit back, open up a terminal, type in dotnet new podcast and we'll dive into the core of Modern .NET.
