Wdym it's imported Egyptian water

I don't know what restaurants you go to, but during my adult life not once "water please" failed to get me a glass of water.

Sometimes the waiter asks if bottled or tap, but thats about it.

Hey now french expensive water is really good though! How expensive is it where you live? I get a big (75cl?) bottle of st Pellegrino for like 3.50€ here in France.

Yeah kinda. I ask it to do something simple like create a a typescript interface for some JSON and it just gives me what I want... most of the time.

Other times it will explain to me what JSON is, what Typescript is, what interfaces are and how they're used, blah blah, and somewhere in there there's the code I actually wanted. Once it helpfully commented the code... in Korean. Even when it works and comments things in English the comments can be kinda useless since it doesn't actually know what I'm doing.

It's trying to give you what you want but can sometimes get confused about what you're asking for and give a bunch of stuff you didn't actually want. So yeah, the comic is accurate... on occasion. But many times LLMs will give good results, and it's getting better, so it'll mostly work ok for simple requests. But yeah, sometimes it'll give you a lot more stuff than what you wanted.

I use them frequently, they’re extremely helpful just don’t get it to write everything.

As for the comic, it’s pretty inaccurate. The only one that I find true is the too much water, sometimes the bots like to take … longer methods.

The comic is only accurate if you expect it do everything for you, you're bad at communicating, and you're using an old model. Or if you're just unlucky

I point blank refuse to use them. I've seen how they've affected my coworker and my boss - these two people now simply cannot read documentation, do not trust their own abilities to write code, and cannot debug anything that they write. My job has become more difficult since this shit started being pushed on us all.

They're okay for tasks which are reasonably a single file. I use them for simple Python scripts since they generally spit out something very similar to what I'd write, just faster. However there is a tipping point where a task becomes too complex and they fall on their face and it becomes faster to write the code yourself.

I'm never going to pay for AI, so I'm really just burning the AI company's money as I do it, too.

I use llms to write small scripts because I'm too lazy to learn bash and ms cmd and regex and so far have not ruined anything.

they suck

The only thing I trust it with is refactoring for readability and writing scripts. But I also despise LLMs, so that's all I'd give them.

Much like Amazon has an incentive to not show you the specific thing it knows you're searching for, people theorize that these interfaces are designed to burn through your tokens.

Some days it will be but other days it won't be. Most of the time it can save me typing because it'll do what I want. Sometimes (for similar tasks in the same context) it's just be completely off. Once it helpfully commented my code... in Korean.

LLMs are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.
