This is purely anecdotal, and I try to keep it to myself but its very difficult when at least half of the HN homepage is AI related: LLMs like ChatGPT do so utterly terribly at any non-trivial job I throw at it that I seriously consider people who use it daily to either be straight up incompetent, or maybe their domain is so trivial that the LLM actually does well.
From asking LLMs to solve a highly difficult async C++ parallelism problem, to german language specifics, it just fucks up at a fundamental level. I understand that LLMs cannot solve these issues and why, but then I do not understand the heavy focus on AI by so many tech people.
Is day to day programming job so trivial that LLMs do a good job, while at the same time being too difficult for you to do it yourself? I really, really want to know exactly what the use case is.
Do people just throw simple problems at it to validate their own preconceived notion of how cool and useful LLMs are? Whats the deal?
