The worst I’ve got so far hasn’t been hallucinated “books”, but stuff like functions from a previous major version of the api mixed in.
I’m most of the time on the opposite side of the AI arguments, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to use an LLM as a documentation search engine. The article itself also points out copilot’s usefulness for similar things, but seems the opinion lost the popular vote here.
Yeah, I guess that can happen. For me, it has saved much more time than it has wasted, but I’ve only used it on relatively popular libraries with stable apis, and don’t ask for complex things.
If you don’t know what the code does, you’re vibe coding. The point is to not waste time searching. Obviously you’re supposed to check the docs yourself, but that’s much less tedious and time consuming than finding it, if the docs are hard to navigate.
Unlike vibe coding, asking an LLM how to access some specific thing in a library when you’re not even sure what to look for is a legitimate use case.
Almost makes me wish they still had steve ballmer doing his thing. Would’ve been some good spice for the video.
I too have made the mistake of flipping an if statement. It was clearly supposed to happen to non-HP cartridges.
I have it on loan. I recall being told this one wasn’t that expensive when bought a few years ago, so it was an instant decision for someone looking for a ps2. I’d have done the same.
Are you spying on me mate

Or maybe a bit less of it this year.
