I see this as proof of how bad LLMs actually are. You have an AI trained on essentially humanity's collective programming library. Languages of machines and computers. The result should be ungodly and near perfection. If there was any semblance of understanding in AI, it should be revealed in it's capability to produce code.

Although... I can definitely see Microsoft thinking that their code is the example of perfection and training copilot on that rather than github.

Counterpoint: garbage in, garbage out

Oh right, that.

Your proof of how bad LLMs are is the fact that there are a bunch of other companies producing way better coding agents and coding models than Microsoft is? I'm not sure how that follows. Those other agents are good, that's the point of this.

I would (probably not literally) wager that by "this" they meant *looks around at entire world*...

It's wild to me that people are constantly complaining how "bad" LLMs are, because what, it can make mistakes or it's not orders of magnitude smarter than the smartest humans???

It makes mistakes with an alarming frequency, all with the same confident tone of writing as when it says anything else. It's wrong so often that you'd need to use another source of information just to confirm it, which defeats the point in using AI in the first place!

It's not smarter than the smartest humans, or even AS smart as them, or even as smart as REGULAR humans. It's not even smart. It's a magic eight ball that sometimes has the correct answer by pure chance. No intellect. No reasoning. Just probability.

Also: It steals from just about everyone; it encourages suicides and mass shootings; it's frequently racist in its outputs; it's burning, boiling and polluting the planet; it's being forced on people who don't want it; and billionares are using it to manipulate people. Probably some other stuff I forgot to mention.

Just in case you weren't sure why AI is bad.
