  • Problem is the code is crap. Code without intent is crap. Code IS intent. LLMs are just statistical models with no understanding.

    They are fancy copy paste machines. They have some minor “intelligence” but it’s pretty much just the ability to associate like information. Their responses are nothing but compositions of there training data and local context.

    It has some uses granted. But writing your code beyond auto complete or extremely simple and straight forward tasks isn’t one of them. LLM generated code is not production ready code.



















  • Any question that you could get the answer too from reading a sentence or two from a book or article is generally an LLM will probably be able to answer.

    It’s good for surface level exploratory research.

    The deeper you go the more fallacies and bias start to enter the mix. LLMs by nature are biased and will only present you with one or two solutions/options/opinions on why and what.

    Knowing when your hitting that point is difficult. I urge you to read documentation and human written guides and articles once you find yourself surprising what the LLM can give you.

    As a software developer and script writer myself I can guarantee you what a LLM writes is not “gold” it’s more like bronze at best.
