I’m convinced that people who are fascinated by llm chatbots are those who usually aren’t better than a chatbot at whatever they do. That is to say, they can’t do shit.

When everyone was talking about them paying their workers fairly, I did not expect it being 60 bucks a year. It sounds like an insult to be honest.

Fair use or something

It is indeed due to the lack of medical knowledge. The thing is, so called “generational wisdom” is basically a synonym for lack of knowledge, medical or otherwise. When your go-to source of knowledge is the elders from your community, it stops you from seeking more relevant, and almost certainly more correct knowledge. Community isn’t smart, community is dominated by people who are speaking the loudest, the community consensus revolves around certainty, and people who know the most tend to be least certain in their language.

first-time parents leart all of this from their in-laws.

And so much of that was dangerous bullshit, it’s unbelievable. So many children died because of that.

You either an llm, or don’t know how your brain works.

What made you think of this idea?

The one where you aren’t frustrated by the usage of it.

Yeah, you need to be really brave to setup your system incorrectly.

You’re doing something wrong, maybe ask someone knowledgeable for help with your system. It doesn’t happen to other people.

calling the proud boys “gravy seals” doesn’t make me upset

Good for you. However, there are people who were bullied for being larger than average their wholr live, and this shit reinforces the idea that being fat is something bad and should be mocked.

I use butterflies

Oh yeah, you absolutely can test it.
And then it gives you (and this is a real example, with real function names removed)

find_something > dirpath
…
rm - rf $dirpath/*
do_something_in_the_dir(dirpath)

And it will work, but on a failure of a first question, instead of failing gracefully it wipes your hard drive clean.
You can find shit like that on the regular Internet, but the difference is, it will be downvoted and some nerd will leave a snarky comment explaining why it’s stupid. When llm gives you that, you don’t have ways to distinguish a working code from a slow boiling trap

As with a lot of things in your life, you think you know something, but actually you don’t.

You. I couldn’t avoid you. That’s what I’m mildly afraid of.

What’s scary is that chatbots will make more people like you.

I see you aren’t grasping the concept, and now are saying some random words to hide this fact. But then again, it is to be expected, we kind of started with the idea that you lack higher cognitive functions

More like how some people are afraid of needles but aren’t afraid of deadly diseases. Their primitive understanding of reality allows them to draw connection between prick and pain, but not between an invisible to the naked eye organism and a gruesome death.

See, this is the problem I’m talking about. You think you can gauge if the code works or not, but even for small pieces (and in some cases, especially for small pieces) there is a world of very bad, very dangerous shit that lies between “works” and “not works”.
And it is as dangerous when you trust it to explain something for you. It’s by definition something you don’t know therefore can’t check.

It’s not that LLM can’t know truth, that’s obvious but besides the point. Its that the user can’t really determine when the lies are, not to the degree that you can be when getting info from a human.
So you really need to check everything, every claim, every word, every sound. You can’t assume good intentions, there are no intentions in real sence of the word, you can’t extrapolate or intrapolate. Every word of the data you’re getting might be a lie with the same certainty as any other word.
It requires so much effort to check properly, you either skip some or spend more time that you would without the layer of lies.
