It has to be pure ignorance.

I only have used my works stupid llm tool a few times (hey, I have to give it a chance and actually try it before I form opinions)

Holy shit it’s bad. Every single time I use it I waste hours. Even simple tasks, it gets details wrong. I correct it constantly. Then I come back a couple months later, open the same module to do the same task, it gets it wrong again.

These aren’t even tools. They’re just shit. An idiot intern is better.

Its so angering people think this trash is good. Get ready for a lot of buildings and bridges to collapse because of young engineers trusting a slop machine to be accurate on details. We will look back on this as the worst era in computing.

    Generally I equate positivity about LLMs with people’s technical ability. I find the more they say AI is good the worse programmer they are.

      Technical literacy in general. My friend thinks it’s the greatest thing ever, is an idiot with technology (and life in general).

    I know this community is all about fuck AI, but this is just straight echo chambering.

    But honestly your post sounds like you’re just not using it right? You can get pretty good results with it with enough guardrails. Just because you can’t get the results you want doesn’t mean that no one can.

    That said, fuck AI. It’s all a bunch of bullshit, but denying real results just means you’re sticking your head in the sand and that’s not how you fix this problem.

      I agree… Saying LLMs are good at nothing is just plain ignorance… One can disagree with the philosophy or dislike hallucinations, but they are definitely good at some things.

        For a research project, I had to convert 20+ projects from a dataset into a new format. The old format was simply a single script for each project that builds it. But I needed a format with a Docker file and a script. It would’ve taken me around a week to do all that one by one.

        I got Claude to do it in 2 hours.

        I know people hate AI in this community, but to say it doesn’t do anything good or to insult all people who use it is just pure negativity.

          Thanks for sharing. I’m not sure where me asking for examples “say it doesn’t do anything good or to insult all people who use it”. Someone makes a claim without any proof, I ask for proof. To me that sounds both simple and legitimate.
