One thing that I find truly amazing is just the simple fact that you can now be fuzzy with the input you give a computer, and get something meaningful in return. Like, as someone who grew up learning to code in the 90s it always seemed like science fiction that we'd get to a point where you could give a computer some vague human level instructions and get it more or less do what you want.

It's mind blowing. At least 1-2x/week I find myself shocked that this is the reality we live in

Today I had a dentist appointment and the dentist suggested I switch toothpaste lines to see if something else works for my sensitivity better.

I am predisposed to canker sores and if I use a toothpaste with SLS in it I'll get them. But a lot of the SLS free toothpastes are new age hippy stuff and is also fluoride free.

I went to chatgpt and asked it to suggest a toothpaste that was both SLS free and had fluoride. Pretty simple ask right?

It came back with two suggestions. It's top suggestion had SLS, it's backup suggestion lacked fluoride.

Yes, it is mind blowing the world we live in. Executives want to turn our code bases over to these tools

What are you doing to get results this bad?

I tried this question three times and each time the first two products met both requirements.

Are you doing the classic thing of using the free version to complain about the competent version?

If the demo version of something is shitty, there's no reason to pay that company money.

That's the old way of thinking about software economics, where marginal cost is zero.

Marginal cost of LLMs is not zero.

I come from manufacturing and find this kind of attitude bizarre among some software professionals. In manufacturing we care about our tools and invest in quality. If the new guy bought a micrometer from Harbor Freight, found it wasn't accurate enough for sub-.001" work, ignored everyone who told him to use Mitutoyo, and then declared that micrometers "don't work," he would not continue to have employment.
