I tried to use an LLM to write a script for me. It confidently told me I could split a string in OpenSCAD with the [1:] operator. It works in Python, but isn't an OpenSCAD feature.

Fortunately, programming has a good way of letting you know when the LLM is completely wrong.

The worrying part is that the LLMs can sometimes produce code that runs, but has massive security issues that you don't notice if you just run the code and don't closely analyse it.
