I use it for “introductory” programming, where it writes some script in an env I’m not familiar with and then I read the docs and clean all the bs it hallucinated into it. Often (but very not always) takes less time than learning-curveing it yourself.
I also get sysadm and networking ideas from LLMs. Although here their imagination has no limits and you have to fact-check everything. They imagine cli/config options, whole daemons and docsites, everything.
To sum up: for exploration and one-shot doing by example.
- scarface_74 2y agoI don’t know if this works in general. But when I find it hallucinating around AWS SDK or CLI calls, I ask it to “verify AWS SDK functions from the documentation”. The paid version will do a web search and then it’s usually right. I will sometimes just give it a link to the page with the documentation on it
