I just had an LLM (something 3.7) propose a 100 line implementation and after I stared at things for a while, I reduced it to one. I’m sure I’m in the minority of not just accepting the 100 line addition.
- andai 2y agoCould you elaborate? What were those lines doing?
- sroussey 2y agoLots of the lines were safely dereferencing things in JS where you could just do ?., putting try/catch blocks around that (each time!) and calling into things in a way that a single line would have sufficed. I almost took a screenshot for the lols.
- psd1 2y agoBe honest, it was one line that should have been broken into 3 for readability. This vicious calumny must stop, only 97% of LLM output is rubbish and not the 99% you claim.
