Until we either solve the problem of LLMs providing false information or the problem of people being too lazy to fact check their work, this is probably the correct course of action.
I can’t imagine using any LLM for anything factual. It’s useful for generating boilerplate and that’s basically it. Any time I try to get it to find errors in what I’ve written (either communication or code) it’s basically worthless.
Really? It spotted a missing
push_backlike 600 lines deep for me a few days ago. I’ve also had good success at getting it to spot missing semicolons that C++ compilers can’t because C++ is a stupid language.You can thank all open source developers for that by supporting them.
Huh?
All LLMs are trained on open source code without any acknowledgment or compliance with the licenses. So their hard work is responsible for you being able to take advantage of it now. You can say thank you by supporting them.
Ah yes, I am aware. Gotta love open source :)
Were you under the impression that I said anything to the contrary?
No, just taking any opportunity to spread the word and support open source.
