Two recent examples.
Please link to your history when you get one of these things to build my example so I can see how you managed to do it.
First, a friend without technical knowledge wanted to query an API using SQL. (At a previous firm he learned how to write “SELECT * FROM … WHERE …” statements.)
He asked one of these llms to do this, that he paid a premium for, and it suggested installing VSCode and writing an extension to ingest an API and to query it with python.
I am unfamiliar with VSCode so I’m unsure if this is even feasible, but after 3 days of trying to get it to work, he asked me, and I set up a python environment for him, and wrote a 5 line script to allow him to query the data ingested from the API into SQLite.
For me, the last time I tried, I asked one to write me a container solution using Docker that allowed for live coding of a Clojure project. I wanted it to give me solutions for each: deps.edn and lein.
I wasted hours, because it always felt “just around the corner”, trying to get it to output anything of use for either paradigm then when I abandoned the llm I quickly found, via a web search, a blog post someone wrote that did exactly what I asked, for a lein project of their own, and I just changed it to work for my project, and then again for the deps.edn version on my own.
