What a plot twist that the appropriate mental model for LLMs is one with a near-fatal flaw that's neatly solved by SourceGraph's product.
Edit: Not trying to be dismissive, this is actually giving you a bad mental model because it understates the capabilities of LLMs for the sake of selling their product. The way they use the LLM in their examples is completely uninteresting and adds no actual information beyond what was just fed to it. Repeating back the question would give the same usefulness! Surely they can come up with a better sales pitch for why you need "Cody" than that you can't tell what parameter names in a function call mean.
- phillipcarter 3y agoI think the arc of the story does make sense for most, though. LLMs are fantastic if you given them enough data/context with which to generate something useful for user input. In this case, that context is your codebase. It can be just about anything, though, which is why they're so useful across industries.
