When the original post has no clue what model they are using it throws all credibility out the window. At that point it’s appropriate to point that out to them with suggestions. Nobody here was suggesting that LLMs are PhDs like you are saying. You are the only one bringing that up.
- morsecodist 1y agoI am more referring to my experience in general not just in the thread. I see this PhD thing a lot in the media.
- prmph 1y ago> When the original post has no clue what model ... Well, that's the point. As long as they are using a recent-ish model it really doesn't matter. Not that there are no differences in performances between models, it's that there is no model today that even comes close not requiring extensive hand-holding to accomplish real-world software engineering of even slightly moderate complexity. Case in point: I have been frustrated that most markdown viewers don't do automatic indentation of section levels. I thought, this is a perfect test of coding assistants: the problem and solution is straightforward conceptually, and I don't even care about the platform and architecture used to accomplish it. I've asked all the major models to implement a simple markdown viewer that could do automatic indentation, and they all fall flat. Some even give me code that will not run; of the rest, none has provided code that basically does the thing I've asked for.
