This sentiment is so far from the truth that I find it hilarious. How can a technically adept person be so out of touch with what these systems are already capable of?
- gizmo 2y agoLLMs can write a polite email but it can't write a good novel. It can create art or music (by mushing together things it has seen before) but not art that excites. It's the same with code. I use LLMs daily and I've seen videos of other people using tools like Cursor and so far it looks like these LLMs can only help in those situations where it is pretty obvious (to the programmer) what the right answer looks like.

- PaulRobinson 2y agoThe LLM generated e-book thing is actually a serious problem. Have you read any of it? Consumers could lose trust unless it’s fixed. If you buy a book and then realise nobody, not even the seller, has ever read it, as it turns into incomprehensible mush regularly, are you more or less likely to buy a book from the same source?
