This is why I typically only use LLMs in programming as a semi-intelligent doc delver with requests like, “give me an example of usage of X API with Y language on Z platform”. Not only does it goof up less frequently on small focused snippets like this, it also requires me to pick the example apart and pay close enough attention to it that goofups don’t slip by as easily and it gets committed to memory more readily than with copypasting or LLM-backed autocomplete.
