The training these LLMs got, was from endless human-slop, on sites like LinkedIn, and marketing copy, everywhere. In fact, don't be surprised, if we start learning from AI; reversing the process.
But I think that it's only a matter of time, before almost everything will be at least touched by AI.
I posted this, yesterday[0]. It wasn't a particularly popular comment, but I stand by it.
The thing is that I LIKE writing code. It's fun.
I don't LIKE coding with an LLM. It isn't fun.
We can't go back to a place where the professional code is all hand written. But at the same time I'm sad and tired. The joy has been utterly sapped and I don't think I'll be able to do this as a career for much longer.
That may have something to do with the way that I use an LLM.
I use it as a “pair partner,” not as an agent.
Most of the code in my apps is mine, but I do ask the LLM to take care of some of the “overhead” tasks, such as minor utility functions.
In fact, I just got done, ripping out a bunch of code the LLM wrote, in my current app, and replacing it with my own work. It seems that I can’t really ask the LLM to do much beyond function level, without it going sideways.
I simply can’t understand people shipping entire, vibe-coded apps. If I let the LLM write my whole app, it would be hot garbage.
EDIT
I also read your linked comment and agree 100%.
Every time this claim is made I ask for a link to a pre-2022 blog or article that has all those AI tells.
I'm still waiting for it. I don't think I will ever receive it.
People on the Internet (especially here), seem to think that it's OK to make rude demands of complete strangers, and expect them to spend considerable time, meeting them.
I'd rather some rando think they "won the Internet," than spend a bunch of my time, working for free, just to satisfy them. I have better things to do with my time, and I don't really have a lot of investment in what complete strangers think of me.
Sometimes, the fox ain't worth the chase.
It's been asked about 30 times now. If it existed, someone would have posted it. Maybe you.
One of the things that I learned, about the time I lost my baby teeth, is that making rude demands of people, instead of working with them, is likely to result in exactly the opposite.
Chances are good, that you learned this, as well, which might explain the rude demands. They are unlikely to be met, so the matter stays open.
I mean, even the SOTA models couldn't pull up examples when asked, so it's no surprise that HN readers can't find any examples either.
They just don't exist...
Have a great day!
You dont ask people on the internet to provide you with some kinda proof because nobody can be bothered, you dont even ask them to prove you wrong because they cant be bothered. You have to confidently and boldly assert your false claim and that will enrage some poor autists somewhere into doing what you want.
