Facts:

You need to understand what it’s doing to keep it on track or a lot of time to head down all of its dead ends.

You need to understand your intent and project in order to recognize that it’s hallucinating.

When it magically decides variables or other factors need new unused names while mid way through any project, you have to watch out for that- you have to be able to audit everything it does and constantly restate the whole project in chunks.

We saw the one off example of a coder beating an LLM at code production recently.

I don’t expect LLM coding or reasoning to be good for a while.

Love how these articles talk about the downsides and failing of these tools, but will never present simply not using them as an option.

That subheadline though…

Headline: “x or y?”
Subheadline: “Spoiler: Yes.”

🤨

Why even add a subheadline when it only makes sense with the content.
