  • I understand LLMs well enough that I really don’t want to use them because they are inherently incapable of judging the validity of information they are passing along.

    Sometimes it’s wrong. Sometimes it’s right. But they don’t tell you when they’re wrong, and to find out if they were wrong, you now have to do the research you were trying to avoid in the first place.

    I tried programming with it once, because a friend insisted it was good. But it wasn’t, and it was extremly confidend, while being exceptionally wrong.



  • Sure, it may sound bad when children become homeless. But have you ever thought about how much money it saves? Just think of all the good things we can afford with all that money!

    Like anti-homeless park benches. Or those little speakers that emit ultra-high-pitched sounds so that young people don’t … enjoy … existing somewhere or something, idk.

    And just because I’m unable to actually satirize reality at the moment, yes, /s


  • I’ve only used an LLM (you can guess which one) once to write code. Mostly because I didn’t feel like writing down some numbers and making a little drawing for myself to solve the problem.

    And because a friend insisted that it writes code just fine.

    But it didn’t. It confidently didn’t. Instead, it made up something weird and kept telling me that it had now “fixed” the problem, when in reality it was trying random fixes that were related to the error message but had nothing to do with the actual core problem. It just guessed and prayed.

    In the end, I solved the problem in 10 minutes with a small scribble and a pen. And most of the time was spend drawing small boxes, because my solution relied on a coordinate system, I needed to visualize.
