- tgv 3y agoSearch for a piece of code you wrote. If it's more than 15 lines and not boilerplate, chances are you won't find it anywhere on the net.
- gardenhedge 3y agoTo be honest, I imagine I would. Variables named could be different but it would largely be the same as code others have written. For example, I am creating an app in React Native at the moment. My app will not be unique in terms of code but instead in business domain.
- Jensson 3y agoBut there are many pieces of code that I've written that you can find in many places on the net, having a tool that can adapt that to your codebase in seconds is useful. It doesn't have to be smart, just pasting in an function and fitting that to your code is useful.
- tgv 3y agoSure, but the point is it will have to adapt it to your code, if only in naming. So it has to make up things, i.e. hallucinate. It can't just reproduce the best match in memory.
- Jensson 3y agoYeah, these models are very good at making up names, that is what they are trained to do after all. Their ability to do logic isn't that impressive though and seems to be on the level of a human that doesn't understand the topic but has seen many examples.
- gessha 3y agoThis reminds me of a bit from a Hugh and Laurie sketch: > Imagine a piano keyboard, eighty-eight keys, only eighty-eight and yet, and yet, new tunes, melodies, harmonies are being composed upon hundreds of keyboards every day in Dorset alone. Our language, Tiger, our language, hundreds of thousands of available words, frillions of possible legitimate new ideas, so that I can say this sentence and be confident it has never been uttered before in the history of human communication: "Hold the newsreader's nose squarely, waiter, or friendly milk will countermand my trousers." One sentence, common words, but never before placed in that order. And yet, oh and yet, all of us spend our days saying the same things to each other, time after weary time, living by clichaic, learned response: "I love you", "Don't go in there", "You have no right to say that", "shut up", "I'm hungry", "that hurt", "why should I?", "it's not my fault", "help", "Marjorie is dead". You see? That surely is a thought to take out for a cream tea on a rainy Sunday afternoon. https://abitoffryandlaurie.co.uk/sketches/language_conversation https://abitoffryandlaurie.co.uk/sketches/language_conversat...
- intended 3y agoThe term “Hallucinate” is a misnomer. Humans can hallucinate, we can get sick and perceive a world which is incongruous with reality. LLMs are just generating tokens. Hallucination perpetuates an unhelpful anthropomorphization of LLMs.
