Most people do use LLMs, which is why they have the so-called pessimistic opinions they do.

Judging by most public comments, people are really mediocre at using them. I don't get how it's possible to get such poor results from them.

  • That's because your usecases were simple and/or small.

    Otherwise, you would have known.

    Unless you don't have experience and you believe the whole "You are right! it _is_ a and not b" bs...

    • Or, perhaps, you are the one who is mistaken and other people ARE having success with large and complex programs?

      I am not saying you ARE wrong, but I don’t know how you could be so certain that no one else is having success with complex, AI written, code.

      There are well known, established, and respected engineers creating AI projects right now. For example, antirez, the creator of Redis, created the DS4 project. When you see these sorts of projects, do you never think, “Maybe I might be wrong about this.”?
