So people who can use them effectively, but not like that!
Do you not see the irony in this statement?
- hluska 3y agoTheir verb was ‘lie’. Do you want a lying coworker?
- Our_Benefactors 3y agoHave you stopped beating your wife yet? I don’t see using an LLM as a coding assistant as “lying” anyways.
- kragen 3y agousing an llm as a coding assistant is not lying in general, just in this context, where you're taking a 'skill assessment test', that is, being quizzed to find out what you know how to do
- hluska 3y agoOne intellectually void comment and now this offensive one. You’re a waste of time.
- Our_Benefactors 3y agoI disagree with the premise of your question entirely because using LLMs is not lying.
- hluska 3y agoThen develop social skills and say that. This shit about asking me about beating my wife is very offensive and there was absolutely no point. You’re just being pointlessly offensive because someone hurt your ego.
- arp242 3y agoIf you say "I programmed this myself" or "I did not use LLMs" while in fact you did then you misrepresented reality. That is, you lied. It baffles me this is even a point of contention.
- kragen 3y agoalso it seems to me that you are implicitly making that representation by submitting a response to something called a 'skill assessment test' i mean unless you think they're trying to assess your skill at copying and pasting, or cheating on tests, or general dishonesty in the last case you have a sort of epimenides paradox, in that the way to pass the general-dishonesty test legitimately is to try to cheat on it
- Our_Benefactors 3y agoOne demonstrates that they have the skills by answering the questions correctly. Using an LLM to do it or not is inconsequential. If you can demonstrably produce good output then great, code is a tool and a means to an end after all.
- arp242 3y ago> Using an LLM to do it or not is inconsequential. I disagree about that, because the act of writing in itself is valuable IMHO, and even with LLMs you want to ensure there's a baseline competency because programming isn't just about "writing code". I'd appreciate it if people wouldn't lie to me about it just because they disagree. "I think it's fine to lie because I think it's inconsequential" is the argument you're making, not "there is no lying involved".
