Kind of related topic: Using libraries is a pain - Is there any evidence that people are using LLM coding tools to write library functions instead of importing libraries? How would we tell? Can you think of second order effects from this?
- cratermoon 2y agoThe LLM coding tools will likely reproduce the errors from the code they were trained on, including compiler options like -Ofast. Because they tools are generating text based on tokens, the -Ofast option can and likely will appear in contexts where it is completely inappropriate. Programmers who use this code will propagate errors found and fixed 2 years ago.

- mhh__ 2y agoI'd take a bet against that actually as people about fastmath is exactly the kind of hand holding OpenAI in particular train for.
