tfney aren't even errors. They are the system working as designed. The system is designed with randomness in mind so that the model can hallucinate, intentionally. The system can't ever be made reliable, not without some sort of paradigm shift.
what trend? they made thi ipod, they made the iphone, they've been late, really really late, for very basic features on either. And a bunch of just plain bad stuff.
Butterfly keyboards, magic mouse, touch bar on macs, not cherry picked at all. There are tons of examples
so no. Before llms came around, lots of people were hobby programmers. We learned. Sorry to be blunt, but being a hobbyist is not an excuse. The best programmers I know are hobbyists
by "completing it" do you mean having something that seems like it works? Or something that you know works? If it's the former then you've just had the computer do the easy part (creating something) and skipped the actually hard part (making it robust).
Are errors handled properly, is all input being validated? If using https, are you actually verifying certificates? This sort of thing
cryptic != complex. Are they cryptic? yes. Are they complex? not really, if you can understand "one or more" or "zero or more" and some other really simple concepts like "one of these" or "not one of these" or "this is optional". You could explain these to a child. It's only because they look cryptic that people think they are complex. Unless you start using backreferences and advanced concepts like those (which are not usually needed in most cases) they are very simple. long != complex
the "guardrails" they mention. They are a bunch of if/then statements looking to work around methods that the developers have found to produce undesirable outputs. It doesn't ever mean "the llm will not bo doing this again". It means "the llm wont do this when it is asked in this particular way", which always leaves the path open for "jailbreaking". Because you will almost always be able to ask a differnt way that the devs (of the guardrails, they don't have much control over the llm itself) did not anticipate.
Expert systems were kind of "if we keep adding if/then statements, we would eventually cover all the bases and get a smart, reliable system". That didn't work then. It won't work now either
yes, "complex" regexes are quite simple too. Complex regexes are long, not difficult. They appear complex because you have to "inline" everything. They really are not that hard.
