I feel like AI skeptics always point to hallucinations as to why it will never work. Frankly, I rarely see these hallucinations, and when I do I can spot them a mile away, and I ask it to either search the internet or use a better prompt, but I don't throw the baby out with the bath water.
I see them in almost every question I ask, very often made up function names, missing operators or missed closure bindings. Then again it might be Elixir and lack of training data, I also have a decent bullshit detector for insane code generation output, it’s amazing how much better code you get almost every time by just following up with ”can you make this more simple and using common conventions”.
