  • I use it for tedious transformations or needle ones haystack problems.

    They are better at searching for themes or concepts then they are at actually doing any “thinking tasks”. My rule is that if requires a lot of critical thinking then the LLM can do it.

    It’s definitely not all they say it is. I think LLMs will fundamentally always have these problems.

    I’ve actually had a much better time using it for in line completion as if recent. It’s much better when the scope of the problem it needs to “solve” ( the code it needs to find and compose to complete your line ) is like the Goldilocks zone. And if the answer it gives is bad I just keep typing.

    I really hate the way LLM vibe coded slop is written and architecture. To me is clear these things have extremely limited conception. I’ve compared it to essentially ripping out the human language center, giving it a keyboard and asking it to program for you. It’s just no really what it’s good at.
