- perrygeo 2y agoI often think of LLMs as a really smart junior developer - full of answers, half correct, with zero wisdom but 100% confidence I'd like to think most developers know how to say "I don't know, let's do some research" but in reality, many probably just take a similar approach to the LLM - feign competence and just hack out whatever is needed for today's goal, don't worry about tomorrow.
- namaria 2y agoNah LLMs are nothing like really smart junior developers. Really smart junior developers actually have a shot at learning better and moving on from this stage.
