Every once in a while, I try LLMs just to see how improvement is going.
Yesterday I had to explain to Opus what the color white is and what "bottom right" means after it declared problems fixed, repeatedly, that a literal preschooler would have been able to tell were absolutely unchanged from the original problem description.
I am still waiting for this world of redundant programmers I've been hearing about for years.
I use FreeBSD. When talking to LLMs, they insist on giving me code in bash. Bash is not native to FreeBSD (though you can get it and use it). I correct them, and of course they apologize, but another day continue to use bash in other questions.
Considering the rate of improvement of these LLMs, wait for a month or two and then you may not even need an os, let alone some obsecure piece of software (shell).
Except the models don’t actually compute anything other than text generation. The entire way they interact with computers is through the shell or other api layers on the OS
