- yesitcan 8mo agoThis is almost a meme reply on HN: absolving the LLM by comparing it to an inexperienced human.
- mwigdahl 8mo agoTo me it seems less about absolving the LLM and more saying that "a modern UI for gathering customer details" is wildly underspecified. You're asking the LLM to generate something tasteful for a very vague use case; there's just not that much to go on.
- Aurornis 8mo agoI think the meme is trying to discredit LLMs by saying they don’t read your mind and produce exactly what you wanted from vague prompts. Everyone who uses LLMs knows that it’s an iterative process where you need to provide specific instructions. It’s only the LLM naysayers who think that pointing out that “Generate a modern UI for me” doesn’t create perfect results on the first pass is an indictment of LLMs.
- AlexeyBelov 8mo agoNo? yesitcan is correct, and you're not. His phrase is a meme phrase and yours is not. Why do the whole "NO YOU" thing?

- vntok 8mo agoSame thing entirely: ask for something like "a modern UI for gathering customer details" you're guaranteed to get a pile of shit. Spec it out providing your needs, objectives, guidelines etc and you'll get better output... exactly like with an LLM.
