Sure, all the problems are “easy” once you identify them. As with most products. But the majority of Show HN posts here relying on LLMs that I see don’t account for simple things like my example. Flights finders in particular have been pretty bad.
>BTW: with my new prompt, it did assume the correct airport “<<I want to go to Cuba after Easter>>”
Not really. It chose the airport you put basically in the prompt. But I don’t live in MA, I live closer to PDX. And it didn’t suggest the multiple other Cuba airports. So you’ll end up with a lot of guiding rules.
A human would assume if you said “Portland” they would first assume you meant PDX unless they looked up your address and then they would assume Maine.
Just like if I said I wanted to fly to Albany, they would think I meant New York and not my parents city in south GA (ABY) which only has three commercial flights a day.
Even with a human agent, you ask for confirmation.
Also, I ask to speak to people on the ground - in this case it would be CSRs - to break it.
That’s another reason I think “side projects” are useless and they don’t have any merit on resumes. I want them to talk about real world implementations.
