Not OP but here's a problem just today:

I was using an AI to help me set up a container to be used as the Nix build environment for another AI. This build environment would not have Internet access. I was having it base its approach off a previous container used for a Stack build environment.

In its initial analysis of my proposed strategy, it insists as its premier point /against/ the strategy, "you will have to rebuild the container every time your flake.nix changes."

Two head-slapping errors of judgement in saying something like that:

(1) The Stack solution is identical. Change stack.yaml, the container must rebuild. (2) It is not physically possible to do better than this while insisting on an internet-free environment.

So on this point, it was just parroting advice irrelevant to the context at hand. LLMs always have such a bizarre mix of technical knowledge and lack of good judgment.
