You think that Github Copilot, for instance, is a technological failure?

What about Bolt? The tool that I use to create designs for me. That's a failure, too?

Totally agree with that. But the problem is the phrase "coincidence" makes it into something it absolutely isn't. And it's used to try and detract from what these tools can actually do.

They are useful. It's not a coin flip as to whether Bolt will produce a new design of a medical intake form for me if I ask it to. It does. It doesn't randomly give me a design for a social media app, for instance.

> you claim that training an LLM on regulations would produce a system capable of answering questions about that regulation.

Huh? But it does do that? What do you think training an LLM entails?

Are you of the belief that an LLM trained on non-medical data would have the same statical chance of answering a medical question correctly?

we're at the "Redefining what words means in order to not have to admit I was wrong" stage of this argument

> It's a coincidence when the output includes facts,

That's not what a coincidence is.

A coincidence is: "a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection."

Are you saying that training it on a subset of specific data and it responding with that data "does not have a causal connection"> Do you know how statistical pattern matching works?

> Per the original post, it's a tool that will waste massive amounts of your time on slop.

I'm gonna need you to know that just because some random dev who wrote a blog said something doesn't make it true. You know that, right?

> Don't pretend that there are no negative consequences to the proliferation of AI tools.

Wait, what? Who said otherwise?

I love how you compare this tool to a Tesla's Autopilot mode, then get called out on it, and are like "Are you saying these tools are perfect" lol.

>Sometime later in your life when you're in the hospital hooked up to a machine the firmware of which was vibe-coded and the FDA oversight was ChatGPT-checked, you may have misgivings but try not to be alarmed, that's just the naysayers getting to you.

This sentence is proof you guys are some of the most absurd people on this planet.
