If 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".
