and probably a barely modified knock-off of some github project that it trained on

You're so upset that you have to invent an imaginary hypothesis to make yourself feel better.

Yes, very imaginary to think that the code comes from pretrained data and copy pasting whole blocks. It's not like this is exactly how LLMs work.

Correct, that's not how LLMs work [0].

Are you a frequent user of LLMs? That "copy pasting whole blocks" mental model doesn't hold up to regular usage, in my opinion.

They probably saw that report years ago of copilot dumping out the fast inverse sqrt function, and assume that's all they can do. From experience most anti-LLM people have either never used them, or used them back in the 3.5-4 era and then never again, though you might have even more experience with those people than I do. :P

I am using LLMs daily and I am a Claude max Subscriber. I neither saw any reports about Copilot Dumping sqt methods.

Now that we established that everything you said is wrong, do you have other toxic opinions or was that it?

they're wrong but they are right that this isn't interesting
