JK, the LLM will get bad input and it will spit out bad output.
- toxik 2y agoI wonder if an LLM could make ”atomic commits” out of my N pending changes.
- nzach 2y agoIt almost can... You can use something like gptcommit to automatically create a commit message. But the results are pretty bad. It can't produce anything beyond placeholder/filler text. I don't need a message explaining we introduced a if to return when i is greater than len(items). I want a commit explaining why it blew up in production after being in production for over a year. What changed ? Did it had any other implications ? There is any ticket for this bug, or maybe a thread in slack ?
- flir 2y agoLLM's tend to write classic "what, not why" comments/commit messages. The idea of the LLM interrogating the programmer for the "why" is interesting, though. Or maybe reading the ticket? (That might just be moving the problem somewhere else though).
