It is quantifiable thing not a feeling.
Between ten thousand runs of:
```
const int MAX_COUNT = 10000;
printf("I'll count up to %d", MAX_COUNT);
for(int i=1; < MAX_COUNT; i++)
printf("I'm now counting %d", i);
```
And of the following prompt:
```
You'll count to 10,000. At the start say "I'll count up to 10,000" and then for each number say "I'm now counting <number>" and do not say anything else. Do not miss numbers in between.
```
Which one is going to produce 100% correct results out of a 10,000 run of each?
Now don't give me "these are different tools". We all know. I'm talking about reliability and predictability.
- vntok 5mo agoWell, for starters the program you wrote is wrong (very unreliable) 100% of the time (very predictable)... so you just got your answer I guess. In any case, most -if not nearly all- of the top-100 LLM will answer your prompt with some code that does what you intended the first program to do. Only they'll actually code it properly of course.
