    It’s worse at all programming tasks except boilerplate, especially with its tendency to inject booby traps. Not knowing how to use the programming language it emits becomes a significant problem.

    Comparing a language model to an idiot is unfair to the idiot.

    A normal search engine works for everything else.

    Any well-defined query I’ve ever made of an LLM has resulted in hilariously bad results, but I suppose I was expecting it to do something that I couldn’t already do better myself.

      I’m a systems administrator, not a programmer. Like I said, quick scripts. An LLM could probably parse my comment better than you, evidently.

      Oof… Was this in reply to my bit about better grammar and ESL individuals?

      Fuck no. Especially the python visualization point.

      I suppose you’re just a god among men then. For the rest of us, it’s useful and you’ve been given plenty of good answers to your disingenuous question.
