Can't remember, but it was something very basic - a 10/15-line routine that a first-year student would write in 3 minutes if they knew the relevant API. The reason I asked the model in the first place is because I didn't know the API. If memory serves, the model inverted an if or a loop condition.

Did you use one of the latest frontier reasoning models? If not, how is your experience relevant?

  • In what world is this an appropriate thing to say to someone?

    • In the world where you do not claim that LLMs suck today based on your attempt to use some shitty model three years ago.

    • In the creed of "AI is perfect, if you claim otherwise you're broken" that so many here embrace.

So you tried it once and then gave up?

  • I didn't give up, I just know that I can only use a model when I have the patience to work with something I can't trust at all on anything. So that's what I do.
